The Andhra Pradesh government has scrapped two pumped hydro storage power projects (PSPs) by Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) the 1,200 MW Kurukutti and 1,000 MW Karrivalasa projects following a request from the company, citing 'local issues.' According to a government order (GO) issued by Chief Secretary K Vijayanand, AGEL had sought cancellation of the projects due to boundary disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, which it referred to as 'local issues.'

On September 12, 2024, AGEL requested the cancellation of these two projects due to a boundary dispute between Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and requested to refund the facilitation charges paid by the company or adjust those funds towards the allotment fee due for 1000 MW Pedakota and 600 MW Raiwada PSP Projects. The Pedaktoa and Raiwada projects were also allotted to AGEL. Taking into consideration the difficulties in conducting survey and investigations due to border disputes, the vice chairman and managing director of NREDCAP, M Kamalakara Babu, has requested the government to consider the cancellation of the Kurukutti and Karrivalasa PSP projects as 'there is no fault on the part of the developer', AGEL, said Vijayanand. Further, Babu also requested the approval to adjust fee paid for these projects after deducting the expenses incurred for conducting the survey and investigations by NREDCAP against facilitation fees and DPR expenses after adjusting the taxes payable, in respect of 1000 MW Pedakota PSP and 600 MW Raiwada PSP Projects. The AGEL's cancellation proposal was placed before the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) meeting held on July 17 and it had agreed to cancel Kurukutti and Karrivalasa projects due to local issues as per the request of the developer, added Vijayanand.
