TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi-Adani group on Friday said Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has reaffirmed her government’s commitment to the $16.5 billion Carmichael mine project in the Australian province.
“Adani Group, a global integrated infrastructure conglomerate, today hosted a high-level delegation led by Annastacia Palaszczuk, Premier of Queensland, Australia, at Mundra Port who reaffirmed Queensland government’s commitment to the $16.5 billion Carmichael mine project,” the group said in a statement.
The statement came a day after cricket legends Ian and Greg Chappell and few other prominent Australians urged Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani to abandon the mine project. The group, however, rejected the demand and said it was “motivated” by a very small group of “misled” people.
Last year, the environment and heritage protection (EHP) department of the Queensland state issued the final environmental authority (EA) for Adani’s Carmichael Mine project in the Galilee Basin.
“Adani group is confident of fulfilling the strict conditions placed on the EA, including extra requirements based on the land court’s recommendations and ensure this mine will not pose an unacceptable risk to the environment,” the statement said.
