Adani project on less-sure ground
The Hemant Soren government is facing calls from within to review the 1600-MW power project of the Adani group in Godda, around 340km from here.
Congress sources in Jharkhand as well as in New Delhi said the feedback from the ground was that the coalition government should not endorse any project that has been facing allegations linked to land acquisition.
The sources in New Delhi stressed that the final decision had not been taken but described reservations over the project as “robust”.
The Adani power project started during the innings of the erstwhile coalition government led by the BJP’s Raghubar Das. The project is estimated to cost around Rs 15,000 crore, out of which half the amount had already been said to have been invested.
