The Indian company suddenly announced the withdrawal of capital, and the plan to double the throughput of Myanmar’s port was shelved

after obtaining approval from the National Investment Commission of Myanmar.

Indian port management company Adani Ports said that it is expected to complete the divestment of the project by
 March or June 2022.
On October 27, Reuters reported in a statement quoted in the report that Adani of India made this decision in
response to the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and British governments on companies under the Myanmar military.

the Risk Management Committee.

operation and transfer (BOT) agreement.

 Myanmar.

carry out projects in Myanmar after stability is restored.
