The Adani Group faces scrutiny by the US Department of Justice for alleged Iranian LPG shipments via Mundra port. Satellite data and vessel tracking raise red flags, while the group strongly denies any violations. Adani Group share price remains under watch.
The Adani Group is reportedly being reviewed by the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) following claims that Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipments were routed to India via the group’s Mundra port. As per a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) investigation, the tankers involved showed signs of sanction evasion, including AIS signal manipulation and false reporting of docking locations.

The report points to specific tankers, such as the Panamanian-flagged SMS Bros (renamed Neel), which reportedly docked at an LPG terminal in Iran while falsely broadcasting different locations via AIS. Satellite imagery and port records reportedly confirmed these discrepancies. Multiple vessels exhibited similar spoofing tactics and were identified as previously associated with Iranian petroleum shipments.
The Adani Group has publicly refuted the allegations, stating that the cargo originated from Sohar, Oman, and was managed by an independent logistics provider. It maintained that its ports do not handle Iranian-origin cargo or vessels with links to Iran. Furthermore, the group insisted it had no awareness of any US-led probe related to the matter.
Vessel Name | Flag | Alleged Activity | Port of Entry | Status |
SMS Bros / Neel | Panama | Falsified AIS data | Mundra Port | Under DoJ review |
Unnamed Tanker 1 | Unknown | Linked to Iranian exports | Mundra Port | Tracked irregularly |
Unnamed Tanker 2 | Unknown | Route inconsistencies | Mundra Port | Flagged in WSJ report |
While the Adani Group continues to deny the claims, the episode adds to the regulatory scrutiny around its global dealings. Investors are closely observing how these developments might affect the group’s future operations. On the BSE, the Adani Group share price has remained relatively flat in initial trading sessions following the report, though volatility may persist as the story develops.
The reported investigation into potential Iranian LPG shipments has placed the Adani Group in an international spotlight once again. With heightened scrutiny from US authorities and media attention, the focus will remain on compliance transparency and supply chain oversight. The Adani Group share price is expected to reflect investor sentiment as more clarity emerges.
