Supreme Court sets aside NGT’s order which revoked environmental clearance to AHPPL

The Supreme Court has set aside the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) order which revoked the environmental clearance granted to Adani Hazira Port Private Limited (AHPPL). With this, the environmental clearance granted to AHPPL in May 2013 for the development of the Hazira multi-cargo port project stands restored. The Supreme Court has also asked the NGT to refund Rs 250 million which was deposited by AHPPL with the Surat collector pursuant to the NGT’s order, with interest accrued thereon.
