This comes after Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar, and another key executive have been charged by the US Department of Justice of being part of an alleged scheme to pay $265 million bribes to Indian officials to win contracts for the supply of solar electricity that would yield $2 billion profit over a 20-year period.
“We see this as a legal matter relating to private firms and individuals and the US Department of Justice. There are established legal avenues which would be followed,” the MEA stated.
Dismissing speculations about prior communication on the issue, the MEA asserted, “We have not been informed in advance about this issue and we have not had any conversation with the US on this matter.”

Regarding any potential cooperation under international legal frameworks, the ministry confirmed that no formal requests had been received from the United States. “Any request by a foreign government for the service of summons or arrest warrants is a part of mutual legal assistance. We have not received any request from the United States,” it clarified.
