Abizer Diwanji, Founder, NeoStrat Advisors LLP, says people will take the decision on the basis of whatever their compulsions are. Institutional investors, especially from the US, will have bigger compulsions in their country, being answerable to their own investors, and they may take a different call. The primary consideration for a normal investor should be returns and the efficacy of cash flow. As far as we have been covering banking, there is a reputational risk, there is a financial risk. But despite that, you have seen that Japanese lenders may continue to support Adani. How would these banks be assessing the situation according to you? Abizer Diwanji: First of all, banks are very focused on lending and lending to specific projects which have a high probability of cash flows, that is the most important thing. Now, given the group's ability to construct and execute contracts well, I think from a credit risk perspective which is the main criteria on which lending is done, most people would take a view that there is no problem with the credit.

Sanjay Asher, Senior Partner, Crawford Bayley & Co, says there would be a legal divide between the European banks and the Middle Eastern and the Japanese banks. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, if the Japanese and the Middle Eastern banks had come to a decision to support the Adani Group, then they would have surely done their homework. Are banks seeing problems associated with Adani Group on a long-term basis and not short term? Sanjay Asher: Absolutely, they are seeing from a long-term basis. They would have analysed the facts and circumstances and then they would have come to a decision or a conclusion that they want to support the Adani Group. They would have considered not only the financial position but also the legal position as it stands before the SEC and the DOJ and then come to this particular decision in my view.

COP29 climate conference in Azerbaijan at the weekend as a sort of diplomatic echo of the US election result three weeks earlier. In the US, progressives found themselves blocked by a surprisingly strong coalition of both traditional Republicans, and a faction of working class and non-White supporters whom they’d regarded, perhaps naively, as their natural allies.
