The resolution of the legal matters involving the Adani Group has removed a major overhang on the expanding India-US economic partnership, with industry leaders and American lawmakers describing the developments as a boost for bilateral investment ties.

The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) on Monday said the closure of investigations involving Gautam Adani and Adani Enterprises could pave the way for fresh Indian investments in the United States.

“The US Department of Justice’s resolution in the case involving Adani Enterprise brings closure to the ongoing legal matter, which has been a distraction to the otherwise strong US-India economic partnership,” said Dr Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of USISPF.

His remarks came after the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced a $275 million settlement with Adani Enterprises over alleged violations linked to Iran sanctions.
