Congress-led Rajasthan govt pays Rs 3,000 crore dues to Adani Power
Adani Power has received Rs 3,000 crore dues with interest from the Congress-ruled Rajasthan’s state-owned power distribution companies as compensation for higher fuel costs.
Holding the three Rajasthan discoms guilty of contempt of its August 31, 2020 order, a Supreme Court bench led by Justice Vineet Saran had on February 25 asked the top brass of the Rajasthan discom to be personally present before it for framing of charges if they failed to pay Adani Power its dues, as directed.
The Supreme Court gave four weeks to the discoms to make a payment of Rs 3,048.63 crore to Adani Power, along with the interest.
