What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The hydroelectric project by Torrent Power in Karjat, Raigad district, is facing opposition from environmental activists and political figures, including Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. Opposition leaders have criticized the felling of over 32,000 trees in the Saidongar forest area for the project. Meanwhile, BJP Mumbai president Amit Satam defended the Karjat project as a source of clean energy, dismissing claims that electricity would be supplied to Gujarat as misinformation.

The project is situated in Raigad district, Maharashtra, amid allegations of tree felling for the power plant. Opposition criticism regarding biodiversity loss and the approval process creates regulatory uncertainty for the major infrastructure investment. Amit Satam claimed the project would require significantly less land than an equivalent thermal power project.
