Cash-strapped Sri Lanka has approved a $442 million wind power project by the Adani group, its first big foreign investment since declaring bankruptcy. Sri Lanka's Board of Investment announced that Adani Green Energy, a subsidiary of Gautam Adani's business empire, will build two wind farms in the island's north. The overall investment will be $442 million, and the two plants will produce power to the national grid "by 2025," according to a statement from the BOI. Despite the Adani Group controversies, the Group is committed to elevating Sri Lanka by investing extensively in its economy.
