Adani Group project 

Funding for US Adani Group to end China

The project will receive $553 million (about Rs. 4,590 crore) funding from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), the US government's development finance institution. This is the first time that a US government agency is funding an Adani project.

The port terminal, called the Colombo West International Container Terminal (CWICT), will be developed on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis for 35 years. 

The Adani Group will have a 51% stake in the project, while the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) will have 15% and John Keells Holdings, a Sri Lankan conglomerate, will have 34%. The project is expected to cost more than $700 million and will be the largest foreign investment in Sri Lanka's port sector.

The port terminal will cater to the growing economies in the Bay of Bengal, taking advantage of Sri Lanka's prime position on major shipping routes and its proximity to these expanding markets. 

The project is also seen as a counterbalance to China's growing influence in the region, as China has invested heavily in Sri Lanka's port and infrastructure projects, such as the Colombo International Container Terminal (CICT) and the Hambantota Port. 

The project will also boost Sri Lanka's trade and commerce ecosystem and create thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.

Adani Group in power sector in Sri Lanka Rs. 6225 crore investment


Adani Group has committed to invest Rs. 6,225 crore (US$ 788 million) in the power sector in Sri Lanka. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to develop a 1,000 MW power plant in Mannar, Sri Lanka. The project is expected to cost Rs. 5,113 crore (US$ 643 million).

Adani Group will also invest Rs. 1,112 crore (US$ 145 million) in a transmission line project that will connect the power plant to the national grid. The transmission line project is expected to be completed by 2024.

The investment by Adani Group is a major boost for the power sector in Sri Lanka. The country has been struggling with power outages in recent years, but the government is hopeful that the new power plant will help to improve the situation.

The project is also expected to create jobs and boost economic activity in the Mannar region.

This gold price is not permanent.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs. Gold price Gold market crash history   Will there ever be a situation where gold , which has been rising very, very rapidly in a short period of time, will become a commodity? Studies on gold say that it may come. If we look at the price of gold over the past 50 years, rather than just 10 or 20 years, it seems that what you are saying has happened. That is, in September 1980, the price of 1 ounce of gold touched $666. 19 years later, in September 1999, the same 1 ounce of gold was sold for $255. A 62 percent decline. An ounce did not touch $666 again until 2007. That is, 27 years later. Next, in 2012, 1 ounce of gold touched $1,772. But, in just three ye...
