Adani group exploring investment in Sri Lanka's renewable energy sector, says official
Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani on Monday called on Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo, weeks after his company sealed a deal with the state-owned Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) to develop and run the strategic Colombo Port’s Western Container Terminal.
Mr. Adani, who is in the island nation on a private visit, called on President Rajapaksa, sources said, without disclosing the details of the meeting. The billionaire businessman accompanied by a delegation of 10 members flew into the island by two special flights on Sunday, the Daily Mirror reported.
Ahmedabad-headquartered Indian multinational conglomerate Adani Group last month entered into an agreement with the Sri Lanka government owned Port Authority to develop the Colombo Port’s West International Container Terminal. The $700 million Build-Operate-Transfer deal is the largest foreign investment ever in the port sector of the island nation.
