The allotment of [mainly government] land to the Adani group

4 Gujarat CMs have given land to Adani

TNN | Apr 16, 2014 The Times of India

Records show the Adani group first got wasteland in Mundra from the Cogress-backed Chimanbhai Patel government in 1993 and then from another Cogress-supported government headed by Shankersinh Vaghela in 1997.

The group subsequently got more wasteland from BJP governments headed by Keshubhai Patel in 1999 and Narendra Modi in 2005. While it has been alleged that land given to Adani was of the size of Vadodara, the Ahmedabad-based group has got 7,350 hectares, as against Vadodara city's area of 15,900 hectares.

The largest chunk — 5,590 hectares at Rs 14.50 per sqm — was handed over to the group in 2005 by the Modi regime for development of an SEZ. Adani group officials insist that the entire stretch where the Adani port and SEZ is now located was completely barren.
