West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari meets Karan Adani on infrastructure plans

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday held meeting with Managing Director of Adani Ports & SEZ Karan Adani on Power, Logistics and infrastructure at Nabanna state secretariat, sources said.

It was a courtesy meeting which was held today evening. The Chief Minister has reportedly assured that all support will be provided to the Adanis if they invest in Bengal and they can choose the project site, people in the know told ET.

Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, at the BGBS summit 2022, had promised an investment of Rs 10,000 crore in the state in sectors of port infrastructure, data centres and undersea cables, warehouses and logistics parks. Adani Ports and SEZ was in the fray for Tajpur port for more than a year.


Group ran into rough weather following the January 24 report of the US short-seller Hindenberg Research flagged high debt levels at the port-to-energy conglomerate. The state government was silent on the Tajpur port project all through.
