Is Bangladesh’s electricity contract with Adani legally void?

Bangladesh is attempting to re-visit the deal it made with Adani for buying electricity from its Godda power plant. According to the Bangladesh power company buying the power, Adani is charging too high a price for its coal imports. In this exclusive analysis of the official contract between Adani and Bangladesh, AdaniWatch asks whether the agreement should be considered legally void due to Adani’s inclusion of costs that appear to be non-existent. The agreement as it currently stands will cost Bangladesh significantly more than it should. The cost of power from Godda will be three times more than that imported from other Indian power plants.

Adani’s growing stranglehold on the region of Godda

The Adani Group has a growing stranglehold over the city of Godda and its surrounds where the Group is building a huge coal-power station. The power-plant complex has subsumed the local police station and there are fears Adani will soon swallow up previously publicly-owned prime real estate in the city. Adani is also supporting a controversial initiative to foster Hinduism amongst non-Hindu children who belong to Adivasi (or tribal) communities.
