Petition to Hold Adani Accountable

  • Communities Displaced: Adani’s projects have displaced thousands, including residents of Dharavi in Mumbai, who are being pushed out to a landfill to make way for luxury development.
  • Environmental Harm: His companies are major contributors to the climate crisis through coal expansion, destructive infrastructure, and deceptive greenwashing.
  • Corruption & Fraud: Adani Group is under investigation for serious allegations including bribery, fraud, and sanctions violations.
  • Institutional Complicity: Many institutions invest in or partner with Adani — they must divest now or be held accountable.
  • New Deals in Progress: Governments and companies are still considering business with Adani. The message must be clear: Do not start.

To: Attorney General Pamela Bondi and the U.S. Department of Justice

We respectfully urge the Department of Justice to continue its investigation into the Adani Group under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

According to credible allegations, executives at Adani Enterprises planned a $250 million bribery scheme involving Indian officials and made misleading statements to U.S. investors, while using U.S. financial institutions to conduct business. These facts bring the matter clearly within the jurisdiction of U.S. law.

The recent incident involving U.S. sanctions violations by an Adani-linked entity further underscores the urgent need for renewed scrutiny and legal accountability.

The question at hand is not about foreign policy. It is about integrity. If exceptions to U.S. anti-corruption laws are made based on perceived diplomatic risk, it undermines the rule of law that protects both free markets and strong international partnerships.

The relationship between the United States and India is important and will only be strengthened when both countries uphold a shared commitment to transparency, accountability, and legal due process. Dropping this case could erode investor confidence and send the wrong message to corporations that seek to operate above the law.

This is not about politics or personalities. It is about protecting the credibility of U.S. enforcement mechanisms. No company should be shielded from legal scrutiny because of wealth, influence, or geopolitical considerations.

We ask that the Department of Justice uphold its responsibility to pursue justice fairly and independently.

The rule of law must apply equally to all.
