Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 We do not need Adani at USD cents 8.26. We must obtain wind and solar at competitive prices via competitive procedures. If power is offered around cents 5 at competitive prices, there is no issue. Let us ensure competitive processes—that is the proper method.
