NEW DELHI: Amid continuing battle for gas, both the warring Ambani brothers are believed to have met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Anil, whose group company RNRL is seeking gas from Mukesh Ambani-led RIL's KG fields at the committed price of $2.34 per mmbtu, is understood to have met the Prime Minister today. Elder brother Mukesh is believed to have met Singh yesterday.
However, no comments could be obtained from either side.
The two brothers are also believed to have met other senior ministers and key officials in the central government.
ADAG firm Reliance Power today alleged that there was a conflict of interest between the experts who carried out the validation and the contractor (RIL) for approving the Rs 45,000 crore field development costs.
RPower CEO J P Chalsani today said Mustang Engineering has been advising RIL on various projects, while P Gopalakrishnan, the other independent expert, was on faculty of the School of Petroleum Technology, which is chaired by RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani.
None of the two experts could be contacted for comments. The government, he said, stands to lose Rs 30,000 crore revenue because of the inflated capex, as RIL is entitled to recover the entire cost before sharing revenues with the government.
