Congress Alleges Uttarakhand Rewrote 84 Tender Rules to Favour Adani
Congress accuses the Uttarakhand government of changing 84 tender conditions to hand a power project, originally meant for state PSUs, to Adani.
The Congress has accused the Uttarakhand government of altering tender conditions to steer a power project towards the Adani group, alleging that 84 rules were rewritten in the process.
The Opposition party said the project had originally been conceived for state public sector undertakings, with UJVN and THDC involved in its development. It has questioned why the BJP government scrapped that arrangement, only to create a fresh 1,320 MW opportunity.
According to the Congress, the revised capacity aligns closely with the requirements of Adani's Korba plant, raising questions about the intent behind the changes.
The party has demanded answers on both the cancellation of the earlier PSU-led project and the scale of the tender revisions, describing the two decisions as linked.
The allegations centre on the state's handling of a power generation contract and the terms under which it was reopened for bidding. There was no immediate response from the Uttarakhand government or the Adani group in the material available.
