The US Justice Department has dropped the high-profile bribery case against Gautam Adani after a rigorous legal defence and expert analyses highlighted jurisdictional and evidentiary challenges
This assertion highlights his approach of aligning the Adani Group’s portfolio with India's infrastructure, energy, and development goals, emphasising long-term growth in sectors prioritised by the government.
The affidavit was filed in response to a July 8 order by the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, which directed Adani to state under oath whether he was aware of any promise, offer, or agreement related to the dismissal of the indictment
Judge Garaufis noted that McCotter's filing introduced for the first time the possibility that some form of agreement involving one or more defendants may have existed in connection with the dismissal, despite no such arrangement being disclosed to the court.
According to prosecutors, Adani paid Indian government officials $250 million to win a bid to develop the country’s largest solar power plant.
Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa says the U.S. Department of Justice’s move to seek dropping of charges in the Adani case is “unusual, direct and strongly worded.” He explains that the DOJ has cited jurisdictional issues, arguing the alleged transactions occurred in India with no clear U.S. nexus, making prosecution difficult. The filing also questions the likelihood of success and suggests the earlier indictment may have been driven by policy intent rather than strong legal merit. According to Pahwa, the DOJ now believes the case should not have been filed at all, and the court is likely to accept the withdrawal application.

ADANI AGM 2026: Gautam Adani has outlined Adani Group's growing ambitions in India's defence and aerospace sectors, calling it one of the group's most strategic growth areas. Speaking at the AGM 2026, Adani highlighted partnerships with global aerospace leaders Leonardo and Embraer to help build integrated helicopter and regional aircraft manufacturing ecosystems in India. He said the group is developing a comprehensive aerospace platform spanning manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), services, and pilot training. Adani also revealed that the group's drones, anti-drone systems, missiles and ammunition supported India's armed forces during Operation Sindoor. The remarks underscore Adani Group's push to play a significant role in India's defence self-reliance mission and its long-term vision of becoming a major aerospace and defence powerhouse.
Gautam Adani told shareholders the group will build 10 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2035. The plan widens its energy platform as India sharpens its focus on long-term energy security.
