Adani-Led Coal Mining Firm Billed Rajasthan PSU Over ₹1,400 Crore, Audit Reveals

An Adani-led coal mining company has reportedly charged a Rajasthan state-owned enterprise over ₹1,400 crore, according to recent audit findings that have raised questions about billing practices and contractual terms. The payments were linked to coal supply and mining operations carried out under a long-term agreement with the public sector undertaking (PSU).

Initial reports indicate that the billed amount includes costs related to mining services, logistics, and other operational components. However, auditors have flagged discrepancies in the calculations and have sought detailed clarifications from both the mining firm and the Rajasthan PSU involved.

State officials have stated that the matter is under review and that a thorough examination of the contract terms, billing methodology, and compliance standards is underway. They have assured that any irregularities, if established, will be addressed through due legal and administrative processes.

The Adani Group has not issued an official statement yet, but sources close to the company maintain that all charges were made in accordance with the contractual framework and government-approved cost structures.

The development has sparked renewed debate over transparency and accountability in public–private mining partnerships, particularly where large-scale coal procurement and supply operations are involved.
