Central to their discussions was the Adani Group’s commitment to leveraging its expertise in diverse infrastructure domains, including ports, renewable energy, airports, transmission, distribution, and rail.
The aim is to contribute to the development of world-class infrastructure within Tanzania, thereby bolstering its economic landscape and facilitating sustainable growth.
In May, Adani International Ports Holdings inked a 30-year concession pact with the Tanzania Ports Authority to operate and manage Container Terminal 2 (CT2) at the east African nation’s Dar es Salaam port.
Tanzania, which is rich in natural resources and a growing economy, presents a significant opportunity for international partnerships aimed at enhancing infrastructure capabilities.
Suluhu welcomed the prospect of collaborating with the Adani Group, recognizing their potential to contribute substantially to Tanzania’s infrastructure development goals.
The Adani Group seeks to extend its footprint in Africa through strategic partnerships that align with local developmental priorities.
