Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani met with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to discuss potential investments and the future of the Tajpur deep sea port project. The meeting, marking Adani's second visit to the state's secretariat, comes amidst fresh tenders for the ambitious Rs 25,000 crore venture.

Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, convened a significant meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the Nabanna state secretariat, according to official sources.

This face-to-face interaction has reignited discussions over the Tajpur deep sea port project, which the Bengal government is considering through a fresh tender process, terminating a previous partnership with the Adani Group for the Rs 25,000 crore undertaking.
