Adani can't sub-lease its data centre project to another co until it's complete, says Noida

Noida: Noida Authority has ruled out the possibility of sub-leasing its Sector 80 industrial plot to Noida Data Centre Ltd — a group firm of Adani Enterprises Ltd — before the project is declared functional. The decision marks a reversal of the Authority's earlier stance, with officials insisting they would not allow any relaxation from original allotment conditions. According to officials, the plot allotted to Adani in 2021 was still undeveloped and the company had not applied for map approval either. They cited Clause 14-B of the lease deed, which clarified that sub-leasing would be allowed only after the unit obtained an occupancy certificate and became operational. In July last year, the Authority had initially approved the sub-leasing of 10 acres in Sector 80 to Noida Data Centre Ltd — a special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed jointly by Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX under the AdaniConnex venture. The land, allotted for Rs 70 crore in April 2021, was meant for developing a 50MW hyperscale data park within six years. However, the Authority reversed its decision at a meeting in March this year, following complications over transfer charges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O novo dispositivo que os idosos usam para ajudar na neuropatia (dor nos nervos) A arte do herbalismo Undo When the Authority demanded Rs 11 crore as transfer fee, Adani sought a waiver, citing a precedent where the Authority had allowed sub-leasing of its institutional plot in Sector 62 to another SPV without such charges. The company cited the Data Centre Policy of 2021. But although the policy allowed sub-leasing without transfer charges, it also empowered industrial development authorities to levy relevant fees under the UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. On June 9, the Authority denied the waiver and conveyed its decision to Adani through a letter, pointing out that the allottee had agreed to these provisions at the time of application and remained bound by them. Chief secretary Manoj Singh, who is also the Authority chairperson, also intervened. He clarified that the Sector 62 case couldn't be compared with that of Adani as it involved different categories of land use. Sector 80 followed industrial plot norms, while Sector 62 was allotted under institutional rules. "Noida Authority's policies for transfer or sub-lease of industrial and institutional plots are entirely different," Singh wrote to Authority CEO Lokesh M. In his letter, Singh also emphasised that the lease deed for the Sector 80 plot — executed in Oct 2021 — explicitly prohibited any kind of transfers before the project became functional. "The allottee was aware of the provisions.... Now, subsequent to signing the lease deed, the provisions of the Para 8.3.i of the Data Centre Policy 2021 cannot be taken recourse to," he wrote. While the IT and electronics department supported Adani's position — arguing that the Data Centre Policy should supersede the lease deed terms — the Authority stuck to its stance. A committee comprising the finance controller, chief legal adviser, and an additional CEO recommended that Adani's request for sub-lease and fee waiver be rejected, also insisting on project completion and the mandatory occupancy certificate. "Granting any relaxation would amount to a post-allotment benefit, which cannot be allowed under current rules," an official said.

Defence Ministry begins review of manual for big-ticket purchases

Five years after publishing the detailed manual for defence capital procurements, the Ministry of Defence has initiated a comprehensive review of the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020. The move comes at a time the government has upped big-ticket military procurements, prioritising those made indigenously. It is aimed at easing and streamlining big-ticket defence procurements while aligning it with existing central government policies and initiatives. The DAP governs all capital procurements, while the Delegation of Financial Powers to Defence Services (DFPDS-2021) is the manual that governs all revenue procurements, including smaller equipment, ammunition, spares and other items for overhauls, refits and maintenance of defence platforms. A committee headed by the Director General (Acquisition) has been constituted to conduct extensive deliberations with all stakeholders, the Defence Ministry said Thursday. Sources said the requirement for further clarification of certain sections in the DAP was put forth by the services and the industry. It will comprise senior officers from the Defence Ministry, representatives from the defence industry and academia. Former bureaucrat Apurva Chandra, who had earlier served as DG (Acquisition), was appointed as the Principal Advisor to the panel. The ministry said the panel has begun consultations and has invited suggestions from stakeholders by July 5. The suggestions were sought on policy/procedural changes to streamline acquisition processes, covering categorisation, ease of doing business, conduct of trials, post-contract management, fast-track procedures, and adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Suggestions have also been sought on language improvements to eliminate ambiguity, remove inconsistencies, and enhance procedural clarity in the DAP and other relevant issues. The ministry said the DAP review is aimed at streamlining existing capital procurement rules to meet the operational requirements and modernisation of the Armed Forces in a time-bound manner. It will also look at aligning acquisition procedures with central government policies and initiatives to achieve self-reliance in defence by promoting technology infusion through indigenously designed and developed systems. The review seeks to enable 'Make in India' by promoting defence manufacturing in India through facilitation of joint ventures and Transfer of Technology for the private sector, encouraging foreign OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) via FDI alignment, and establishing India as a global defence manufacturing and MRO hub. It is also aimed at promoting design and development in both public and private sectors, with a focus on startups, innovators, and the private defence industry for indigenous technology infusion.

"Shouldn't worry, all our assets abroad are safe": Pranav Adani amid Israel-Iran tensions

By Vishu Adhana New Delhi [India], June 19 (ANI): Amid ongoing conflict in West Asia, Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani on Wednesday assured that the group's overseas assets remain secure. 'There are concerns, but luckily, all our assets abroad are safe. We shouldn't worry about it,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the Chintan Research Foundation's foundation day event. His remarks came as markets react to the worsening geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone fell for the seventh straight session, slipping 2.5% to Rs 1,338. Among the key concerns is the Haifa Port in northern Israel, which the Adani Group acquired in early 2023. The strategic facility, a crucial Indian commercial asset in the region, is operating under the shadow of regional conflict, particularly amid fears of escalation between Israel and Iran. Speaking at ANI, Pranav Adani also outlined the vision of the Chintan Research Foundation, which he said will focus on 'climate change, geopolitical issues and economic entry' as its initial areas of research. 'Evidence-based research has many responsibilities. These three pillars will be our starting point,' he said. He emphasised the need to focus on India's heartland. 'India is not only Delhi or the capital cities. The real India lives in Ranchi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar and the Northeast... That's where inclusive growth should be centred,' he said. CRF President Shishir Priyadarshi said the foundation aims to tackle hard truths and propose solutions with a focus on zero-emission goals, inclusive prosperity, and the Global South's emergence. 'The most challenging thoughts lead to the most rewarding destinations,' he said. (ANI)
