Gautam Adani has been charged by US prosecutors with involvement in a plan to allegedly pay more than $250 million in bribes to Indian officials

"Every attack makes us stronger and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group," says Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani.

Adani, 62, one of Asia’s richest men, was thrust into the spotlight last week when U.S. prosecutors in New York charged him and seven of his associates with securities fraud.

Congress and other opposition parties accuse the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of protecting billionaire Gautam Adani.

Even these projects, all part of India’s Adani Group, barely convey the scale of a conglomerate so intertwined with government priorities that it is almost synonymous with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India.
