Workers at the newly acquired Krishnapatnam port have demanded job protection, payment of wage arrears, and eight‐hour shifts. They have joined the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), causing management to be taken aback by these demands and highlighting a concerning neglect for robust labor rights.

Adani Krishnapatnam Port, through its CSR arm the Adani Foundation and the project 'Utthan', honored 38 students who scored over 90% in Class X and XII board exams. The event included felicitation with wrist watches for students and gifts for parents, alongside support like additional teachers and study materials for peripheral government schools.

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, managed by Norges Bank Investment Management, announced the exclusion of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited from its investment portfolio due to alleged links to human rights violations and its association with armed forces in Myanmar. This decision was made after prolonged observation and ethical review, raising serious concerns about the company’s business practices in conflict zones.

On April 5, the Competition Commission of India approved the acquisition of an additional 25% stake in Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited by Adani Ports, resulting in 100% ownership. This regulatory nod has enabled the Adani Group to consolidate economic control over the port, a move that raises concerns about oligarchic concentration and its potential to support authoritarian economic influence.
