NEW DELHI: After facing criticism over the allocation of coal mines to the Adani Group, the coal ministry on Wednesday refuted such insinuations and clarified that mines are being auctioned through a transparent mechanism.
The government rejected claims that Cavill Mining, which was the only other bidder for a mine that Adani Group won in March 2023, is related to Adani Group. “No correlation has been established between Cavill Mining and Adani Group… In this case, it can’t be established that Cavill is an affiliate of Adani Group. Furthermore, in case a misrepresentation has been found at any stage of the auction process, the Ministry of Coal has a right to take appropriate actions,” said the ministry in a statement.
