The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday registered a first information report against Gautam Adani-led Adani Enterprises, two former executives of National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India (NCCF), and others, for criminal conspiracy and corruption in awarding the contract for supply of imported coal to an Andhra Pradesh-based power company.
The matter dates back to 2010, when Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO) had floated a tender for the supply of 600,000 metric tonnes of coal on free-on-rail destination basis to Dr Narla Tata Rao Thermal Power Station, Vijayawada, and Rayalseema Therma Power Plant, Kadapa, from any port.
