In case you were not aware of what Adani do outside of mining in Australia... just a few headlines from The Bob Brown Foundation who put out a monthly 'Adani Watch' newsletter. This is only a third of what has come out.

Coal-power plants emit sulphur dioxide, a deadly gas that can cause respiratory diseases, stunt the growth of trees and cause ‘acid rain’. That’s why plants are required to install flue gas desulphurisation or FGD systems, which abate the emission of sulphur dioxide. But only 31% of Adani Power’s plants have installed FGD

An Adani Power subsidiary has proposed to add 1,600 MW of coal power at the Bandhaura power plant in Singrauli district in central India. The plant already has 1,200 MW capacity in operation and another 1,600 MW under construction. Now, the company wants to add another 1,600 MW, taking the total capacity to 4,400 MW. Singrauli is notorious for air pollution caused by coal mining and coal power plants and is officially designated a ‘severely polluted area’.

Since 2015, the Adani Group’s defence-manufacturing enterprise has emerged as a major arms supplier. After supplying military drones to Israel and the Indian Navy, it has now opened a 200 hectare arms-manufacturing facility in northern India which will meet 25% of India’s small-calibre ammunition requirements. It will also make 12 types of guns and 40 types of rocket and ammunition systems.

The Human Rights Forum, a non-profit active in southern India, has demanded the government cancel Adani's drone-manufacturing contract with Israeli firm Elbit Systems, under which drones are being supplied to the Israeli army. Adani had recently signed a deal with the Telangana state government for further expansion of its aerospace manufacturing facility. ‘While several countries have withdrawn support to Israel in the face of its inhuman carnage of Palestinians, Adani continues to profit from it, lining its pocket with blood money,’ the Forum wrote.

And they have their pocket in so much more!
