By Ron Bousso, Marwa Rashad and America Hernandez LONDON/PARIS -TotalEnergies can still meet its renewable energy targets without developing any new business with India's Adani Green Energy Limited, the French group's CEO told Reuters,

French oil major TotalEnergies SE said was unaware of a U.S. investigation into bribery allegations against Adani Green Energy and that it will halt financial contributions to Adani Group until the accusations are clarified.

TotalEnergies said it will not make any new investment in Adani until bribery charges in the U.S. against some executives of the Indian diversified conglomerate are settled.

TotalEnergies will pause investment in its Adani Green energy project until there is further clarity on a U.S. bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, the French group's CEO, Patrick Pouyanne,

Total also owns a 37.4% stake in Adani Total Gas Limited, as well as a 50% stake in three renewable joint ventures with Adani Green Energy. Two of those joint ventures were entered into after the FBI served search warrants on Sagar Adani and seized evidence related to Adani Green Energy.

Adani Green Energy addressed concerns after TotalEnergies paused new investments following bribery charges against Adani Group's chairman. The company claims no financial impact from the halt. Adani Green shares dropped significantly,

TotalEnergies shares down as Adani Group executives indicted for corruption, but TTE not implicated and halts new contributions.

Embattled billionaire Gautam Adani's group on Tuesday said French energy giant TotalEnergies' decision to pause new investments in the group will not have any material impact on operations and growth
