Indian billionaire Gautam Adani’s company is expanding its footprint in East Africa with investments in Tanzania and neighboring Kenya. Tanzania awarded it a 30-year concession in May to operate the main container terminal at the port of Dar es Salaam.

 

 


In Kenya, Adani is in talks with the nation’s electricity transmission company for a concession to construct high-voltage power lines valued at $736 million. The group’s proposal to run the nation’s main airport in the capital, Nairobi, has sparked protests, Senate hearings and lawsuits.
