Adani Group Urges Media to Verify Facts Amidst ‘Baseless’ Land Allotment Claims

The Adani Group has issued a firm denial over reports suggesting that the Assam government allotted 3,000 bighas of land in DimaHasao district for a cement plant linked to the conglomerate.

In a media statement from Ahmedabad, the group clarified that Mahabal Cement is not owned by, affiliated with, or connected to Adani Group in any way. “These reports and references are baseless, false and misleading. Linking the Adani name to Mahabal Cement is mischievous,” the spokesperson said, urging media outlets, digital platforms, and the public to verify facts before sharing such claims.

The clarification comes amid circulating news articles, social media posts, and court hearing clips that inaccurately associated the Adani brand with Mahabal Cement. The group stressed that unverified and misleading content can distort public perception and create unnecessary confusion.

The statement read:

“It has come to our notice that certain news reports, social media posts and clips from court hearings are being circulated, claiming that the Assam Government has allotted 3000 bighas in DimaHasao to the Adani Group for a cement plant.

We categorically state that these reports and references are baseless, false and misleading. Linking the Adani name to Mahabal Cement is mischievous. Mahabal Cement is not related to, owned by or connected with the Adani Group in any manner whatsoever.

We strongly urge members of the media, digital platforms and the public to verify facts before making or sharing such claims. The circulation of unverified and misleading content not only misinforms the public but also creates unnecessary confusion.”

The statement is expected to stabilize investor sentiment and ease uncertainty in the region’s construction and industrial sectors. Analysts noted that cement and real estate markets, which briefly experienced speculation-driven fluctuations, may now see steadier activity as stakeholders receive official confirmation that Adani Group is not involved in the proposed Dima Hasao project.
