Controversies
According to reporting from March 2024, Dhariwal Infrastructure had donated 1.1 billion rupees (US$21.2 million) to Indian political parties. The company owns the Dhariwal power station, which had been investigated by the Joint Secretary for allegedly releasing large amounts of fly ash that damaged crops in surrounding villages. Dhariwal Infrastructure was asked to pay 6.2 million rupees (US$74,000) in compensation to affected farmers, but as of March 2024, the company had not yet paid any compensation.[6]
