The MoEF is unlikely to accord clearance to Adani Power's proposal for
drawing water from Pench Tiger reserve for its project in Madhya Pradesh.
The project pertains to the 1,320 MW (2x660 MW) coal based thermal power
plant proposed by Adani in close proximity of the Pench Tiger reserve at
Chaunsara village in Chhindawara district. The company is yet to approach the
MoEF for clearance; however the authority is sure that it will not allow
diversion of water from the protected areas to any commercial use.
