Adani Green Energy Faces Probe Over Revised Tarali Project Cost and Conservation Fee
Adani Green Energy Ltd has been accused of drastically lowering the declared cost of its 1,500-MW Tarali pumped storage project in Maharashtra from Rs 5,675 crore to Rs 56.75 crore, significantly reducing its wildlife conservation fee to the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve. The company denies these allegations, stating the lower figure pertains only to preliminary site investigations and that the project is outside protected forest and eco-sensitive zones. The Union Ministry of Environment has ordered a probe following concerns raised by local forest officials.
