Adani meets Karnataka chief minister as tunnel-road procurement draws scrutiny

Gautam Adani visited D K Shivakumar at his Bengaluru residence after a company in the Adani group offered the lowest price in bidding for the city's planned 16.75-kilometre tunnel road. The chief minister characterised their encounter as a courtesy visit; the reported offer was Rs 22,267 crore.
