Uttarakhand Government Awards Thermal Power Project to Adani Amid Congress Allegations
The Uttarakhand government awarded a 1,320 MW thermal power project to Adani Power through a tariff-based competitive bidding process after a joint venture with state-owned UJVNL and THDC India was not feasible, as THDC is not authorized for thermal generation. The Congress party alleges that the BJP government altered tender conditions to favor Adani, accusing it of sidelining public sector projects. The government denies these claims, stating only minor, approved changes were made and the process was competitive and transparent.
