The Adani Group company announced the sale in May 2022 after a military coup in Myanmar and an ensuing crackdown on mass protests drew international ire and U.S. sanctions. The deal was, however, delayed due to challenges in meeting certain conditions including completion of the project. Inputs from key minority shareholders were a key driver in the company's decision to exit the project, Adani PortsAdani Ports had originally aimed to complete the exit between March and June 2022, but the delays led to the company renegotiating the sale price with the buyer, Solar Energy Ltd, to $30 million, the company said in aFilings from May 2021 showed that the company invested $127 million in the project, including a $90 million upfront payment to lease land.
However, a source familiar with the matter said Adani Ports had invested $195 million in the greenfield project, which had not become operational yet.Shares of Adani Ports rose as much as 1.2% after the announcement.
