Adani Green Energy's Tarali Project Cost Revision Prompts Forest Department Inquiry
Adani Green Energy's Tarali pumped storage project in Maharashtra has drawn scrutiny after the company revised its declared project cost from Rs 5,675 crore to Rs 56.75 crore, significantly reducing its wildlife conservation deposit. The Maharashtra forest department has questioned this revision and is awaiting Adani's explanation, while the Union Environment Ministry has ordered a probe. Adani maintains the lower figure reflects only site investigation costs, asserting the project lies on private land outside protected zones and denies any intent to reduce statutory obligations.
