Reliance Power to legally challenge Indian clean energy agency's ban
Nov 7 (Reuters) -India's Reliance Power RPOL.NS said on Thursday that it will legally challenge a three-year banby the country's top renewable energy agency fromparticipating in its clean energy project tenders.
Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) said on Wednesday that it had banned Reliance Power and its units after the state-ownedagency found the endorsement of a bank guarantee to be fake while scrutinising a bid for a tender.
The ban comes as Reliance Power, a coal power generator, is looking to expand into the domestic and overseas renewable energy sector.
"The Company and its subsidiaries acted bonafidely and have been a victim of fraud, forgery and cheating conspiracy," Reliance Power said in a statement.
The company, run by Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani,said it had already lodged a complaint against the third party thatarranged the bank guarantee with theeconomic offence wing of theDelhi Police. It did not name the third party.
Indian companies are increasinglylooking to set up clean energy projects as the country targets500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 as part of its 2070 net zero goal, up fromthe currentinstalled capacity of about 154 GW.
In August, Anil Ambani was banned from the securities market for five years and fined about $3 million by the Indian markets regulator on charges of diversion of funds.
