The 2017 deal involved the transfer of Reliance Infra’s—then known as Reliance Energy—Mumbai power distribution business.

It was supposed to help Reliance Infra shed Rs15,000 crore in debt, leaving the company with an excess of Rs 3,000 crore, Times Now reported. The Rs18,800 crore agreement also allowed Adani to foray into retail electricity distribution.

However, Reliance Infra has now claimed that the Adani group entity had breached the terms of an agreement dated December 2017. The company’s regulatory filing hasn’t elaborated on the alleged breach.

“The financial implication cannot be ascertained and is contingent upon the final outcome of the arbitration and subsequent legal challenges,” the Anil Ambani firm said.
