Come out with detailed report on Adani deal on solar power, demands Tamil Nadu BJP.

Alleging that there are irregularities in deciding tenders in the power sector, Tamil Nadu BJP recently demanded that the state government bring out a detailed report on the deal with Adani Group on a solar power project.

'Despite having lower bidders and tenders, the government has signed an agreement with Adani Group for generating solar power at a higher cost and the public should know details of the deal,' BJP's Tamil Nadu unit President Tamilisai Soundarajan told reporters at the airport.

Stating that there was no understanding between BJP and the Adani group as believed, she pointed out that chief ministers of Kerala and Madhya Pradesh had signed agreements as per norms and there was no intervention from the Centre.

State-run TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation) and Adani Group had signed an agreement on July 4 to set up a solar park in the state, tipped to be world's largest one.

Under the agreement, the Adani group plans to set up five solar power generation centres with a total capacity of 648 MW at Kamudhi in Ramanathapuram district at an investment of Rs. 4,536 crore.
