The global conglomerate will also be able to overcome the rumours associated with its various other power projects including the Adani Chhattisgarh project. Its hold over the Indian power sector will also strengthen.
The Dismissal Of Plea Against The Adani Group By The Bombay High Court:
The Bombay High Court has recently dismissed a petition challenging a contract which was awarded by the Maharashtra government to the Adani Group for supplying renewable and thermal power electricity stating that the plea was unsubstantiated and reckless. A division bench of Justice Amit Borkar and Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya also imposed a cost of INR 50,000 on the petitioner Shriraj Nageshwar Aepurwar for the vague petition. Aepurwar mentioned that under Article 21 of the Constitution, the contract awarded to the Adani Group for the supply of 6,600 MW of renewable and thermal power was a violation of the petitioners’ fundamental rights to have access to a fair electric supply at a reasonable rate.
The plea also levelled allegations against the former state Chief Minister Eknath Shinde who is currently the deputy CM while the contract was awarded to the Adani Group.
The bench mentioned that the filing of such petitions containing unsubstantiated and reckless averments can sometimes even put a good cause at risk. The bench also mentioned that the petition was a scam involving various government authorities. The high court said that the petition did not contain any supporting material to show that the former Chief Minister was involved in any kind of corrupt practices.
The court also mentioned that the petitioner was not a participant in the tender process of the contract. Now this was indeed a challenging situation that the Adani Group successfully navigated. It also upheld the contract that the global conglomerate had initially signed with the Maharashtra government.
Navigating The Challenge:
Now this is yet another challenge that the Adani Group had to face on its journey towards achieving success. The global conglomerate indeed had to come across a lot of similar challenging situations including the Adani Chhattisgarh project. However, the business group never gave up. Instead, it continued to carry out its business operations with full force. This ultimately caused the Adani Group to earn the reputation of being one of the most reliable conglomerates on a global scale. It was also able to carry out its business operations smoothly.
Adani’s Hold Over The Power Sector:
As you know, the Adani Group holds the reputation of being one of the biggest names in the Indian power sector. The global conglomerate is known to supply power to different areas of Mumbai. It also has an extensive presence in Chhattisgarh because of the Adani Chhattisgarh projects. The global conglomerate also supplies power to some of the major areas in India. The conglomerate also has multiple renewable energy and thermal power plants under its name. It is also the biggest thermal renewable energy player in the country.
As of now, the global conglomerate is trying to bring a transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. This will further allow it to extend its hold over the renewable energy sector. The conglomerate will also be able to build itself an impeccable reputation.
It is also planning on taking on various international projects in the power sector in the upcoming months as well which will further allow it to extend its control over the power sector.
Conclusion:
The Bombay High Court’s decision to dismiss the plea against the Adani Group highlights the trust that the people have in the Adani Group’s business. It also paves the way for more successful ventures for the Adani Group in the upcoming years.
