Adani Green Energy Denies Lowering Tarali Project Costs Amid Conservation Fee Probe
Adani Green Energy has denied allegations that it reduced the declared cost of its 1,500-MW Tarali pumped storage project in Maharashtra to lower statutory wildlife conservation fees. The company stated the lower figure of Rs 56.75 crore cited in an online proposal pertains only to preliminary site investigations, about 1% of the total Rs 5,675 crore project cost. The project is located on private, non-forest land outside protected zones. The Ministry of Environment has ordered a probe following complaints about the cost revision and its impact on conservation contributions.
