AAP demands probe into alleged excess payment to Adani Power in Gujarat
    Uncategorized

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has demanded action against officials and Ministers in Gujarat for an alleged excess payment made to Adani Power Mundra Limited (APMuL) over five years under two power purchase agreements. The Gujarat government had denied the allegation after State Congress chief Shaktisinh Gohil had raised the issue and claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party government had made “excess payment of ₹3,900 crore” to the company. The Gujarat government spokesperson and Cabinet Minister Rushikesh Patel said the allegations were “misleading” and that the payment was only interim and not final. Singh, in a press conference, demanded a probe into the corruption and questioned the lack of action by investigative agencies such as the ED and CBI. It has been alleged that the State-run Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) paid Adani Power approximately ₹13,802 crore between October 2018 and March 2023 even when the latter did not submit any invoice or supporting documents of coal procurement for its power plants. Singh produced a letter purportedly written by GUVNL, seeking recovery of ₹3,802 crore, excess payment made by the GUVNL towards energy charges under the two Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) signed with Adani Power Mundra.
