Will establish long-term partnership with Tanzania in all infrastructure sectors: Gautam Adani

New Delhi, June 14: Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, on Friday said that the Adani Group looks forward to establishing a long-term partnership with Tanzania, one of the most promising and strategically important countries in Africa in various industries including ports, renewable energy, and airports.

Gautam Adani met Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan and found it fascinating to hear from her on Africa’s future. “It was an honor to meet the charismatic President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Her Excellency @SuluhuSamia,” the Adani Group chairman wrote on X.

“It is fascinating to hear her deep insights on Africa’s future and discuss the possibility of forging a long-term partnership with one of Africa’s most promising and strategically important nations,” he added.

Gautam Adani further stated that he is excited for the Adani Group to leverage its expertise in various infrastructure sectors, “including ports, renewable energy, airports, transport, distribution and railways, to help build world-class infrastructure in Tanzania.”

Last month, Adani International Ports Holdings signed a 30-year concession pact with the Tanzania Ports Authority to operate and manage Container Terminal 2 (CT2) at the port of Dar es Salaam in the eastern African country.

Adani International Ports Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ). Karan Adani, managing director of APSEZ, said the move is in line with APSEZ’s ambition to become one of the largest port operators in the world by 2030. The Port of Dar es Salaam is a gateway port with a well-connected road and rail network.
