How Adani won a coal block as the sole bidder in a government ‘auction’
In August 2022, the Adani Group won ownership of the Gondbahera Ujheni East coal block in central India, despite there being no other bidders in this so-called ‘auction’. The process is about to be rerun for another coal block in Madhya Pradesh for which Adani was the only bidder. These deposits of coal underlie swathes of forest that are the homelands of tribal indigenous peoples.
