Allocate natural gas for power projects: Ambani to Reddy

Industrialist Anil Ambani met Oil Minister S Jaipal Reddy today, seeking natural gas allocation for his group's upcoming power projects.

"He (Anil Ambani) is interested in power projects. He met me in that connection," Reddy told reporters after an hour-long meeting with Ambani.

Reddy said the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) Chairman sought natural gas for a power project, but refused to give details.

"We discussed in generalised terms," he said, adding that gas allocation was done by an Empowered Group of Ministers and Anil Ambani's suggestion and request will be considered by that group.
