The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to carry out a full audit of the power import deal with India's Adani Group, alongside its ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the contract. An earlier ACC team had already been investigating the claims. Before the ACC probe, the NBR had "found evidence" of customs duty evasion worth around $400 million in electricity imports from Adani. Following these findings, the NBR committee recommended that the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) recover the evaded amount from Adani Power. On Oct 3, 2024, the committee said it was examining 11 power supply agreements with multiple companies, including Adani Power's 1,600MW Godda plant in India.
