The Industries and Commerce Department in a government order allotted the land to Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., Gurgaon. The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) was directed to cancel the land allotment made in favour of Kinneta Power Private Limited and allot the land for the proposed steel plant. The land was cancelled as Kinneta Power could not implement a coal-based thermal power project at the APIIC allocated land.
