Rajasthan HC temporarily stays Adani’s 1500 MW solar energy power project near Pokhran
The Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday temporarily stayed an Adani group’s joint venture project with the state government for building a 1500 MW solar energy park near Pokhran in Jaisalmer.
A Jodhpur bench of the high court, while staying the project, also sought the Rajasthan government’s stand on a petition by local farmers challenging the allocation of nearly 990 hectares of agricultural land to the private business house for executing the solar energy project.
The bench of justices Sangeet Lodha and Rameshwar Vyas also sought the stand of project executant Adani Renewable Energy Park Rajasthan Limited on the farmers’ petition and ordered status quo over the project land and slated September 29 for further hearing of the petition.
