Norges Bank, which manages the sovereign wealth fund, said in a statement it has decided to exclude India's Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, L3Harris Technologies and China's Weichai Power. Norges said it decided to exclude Adani Ports due to "unacceptable risk that the company contributes to serious violations of individuals' rights in situations of war or conflict." The company, which is part of billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate, was on the central banks' watchlist for possible exclusion from investment since March 2022.
