A federal indictment unsealed in Brooklyn has charged Gautam S. Adani, Sagar R. Adani, Vineet S. Jaain, and other executives of an Indian renewable energy company with securities and wire fraud as well as conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The charges relate to an alleged multi-billion-dollar bribery scheme aimed at securing contracts for some of the world’s largest solar energy projects and concealing fraudulent activities from U.S. investors.

The indictment also names Ranjit Gupta and Rupesh Agarwal, former executives of another renewable energy firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange, along with several others accused of conspiring to mislead U.S. and international financial institutions. The defendants allegedly paid over $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to secure lucrative contracts, using false and misleading statements to raise billions from investors.

“As alleged, the defendants orchestrated an elaborate scheme to bribe Indian government officials to secure contracts worth billions of dollars,” stated Breon Peace, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “My office remains committed to rooting out corruption in the international marketplace and protecting investors from those who enrich themselves at the expense of financial integrity.”

According to Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lisa H. Miller, the charges outline “a deliberate effort to manipulate financial markets through corruption and fraud.” Miller added, “These schemes were carried out with the complicity of senior executives, targeting not only government contracts but also the confidence of U.S. investors.”

The FBI emphasized the case’s international implications. “The FBI is steadfast in its mission to uncover and prevent corruption agreements designed to harm global investors,” stated Assistant Director James E. Dennehy.

If convicted, the accused face severe penalties, including financial restitution and potential prison sentences. The case signals an aggressive stance by U.S. authorities to combat corruption that undermines market transparency and investor trust.
