Investigation against Adani group: another way to bring New Delhi closer to Washington

On June 2, 2025, it was revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into sanctions violations against Iran by the Adani Group, owned by India’s largest billionaire, Gautam Adani.

According to the investigation, tankers carrying Iranian oil delivered to Adani Enterprises attempted to bypass sanctions, including through manipulations of cargo location data.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice suspects the Adani Group of possibly importing Iranian liquefied gas through the Mundra port in India, which is owned by Adani.
