Adani Power Limited vs Haryana: The making of a power crisis

An engineers’ union has alleged that an Adani-owned coal-power station is part of an unauthorised scheme to divert electricity that is contracted to supply the northern Indian state of Haryana to the western state of Gujarat – the home state of Adani chairman Gautam Adani and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the union’s complaint to authorities, the diversion occurred in the peak of the summer months, while Haryana was facing a debilitating heat wave and rolling blackouts.

Police injure orchardists defending fruit trees from Adani’s transmission line

Lush orchards in the Indian state of West Bengal have become the latest flashpoint along Adani’s chain of land grabs for exploiting coal from its Carmichael mine. The orchards, locally famous for their mangoes and lychees, are to be bulldozed to make way for a high-voltage transmission line taking electricity from Adani’s Godda power plant to Bangladesh. In early July 2022, a huge force of police and Adani supporters overwhelmed orchardists protesting at the destruction of their fruit trees. Several orchardists were injured. Some claim there is a conspiracy to have them murdered.
