February 13, Colombo (LNW): Adani Green Energy, a subsidiary of the Indian conglomerate Adani Group led by billionaire Gautam Adani, has announced its decision to withdraw from a planned wind energy project in the Mannar region of Sri Lanka.
The decision marks a significant shift for the company, which had previously aimed to contribute to Sri Lanka’s renewable energy efforts.
In an official statement, a spokesperson for the Adani Group confirmed that the company’s board had communicated its decision to the Sri Lankan authorities.
Whilst the withdrawal from the wind energy venture represents a setback for the project, the group clarified that it remains committed to strengthening ties with Sri Lanka and is open to exploring future opportunities for collaboration, should the Sri Lankan government seek their involvement.
Despite this change in direction, the Adani Group expressed its continued interest in contributing to Sri Lanka’s energy landscape, suggesting that future projects may still be on the cards if aligned with the government’s long-term energy goals.
