Ramesh for realistic 'green' scrutiny for infra projects [India]

The implementation of large industrial and infrastructure projects in the country is likely to become more fractious with the Ministry for Environment and Forests (MoEF) pushing for severe scrutiny of proposed undertakings...“There is an unrealistically low rate of rejection (of projects by MoEF). Over 95 per cent of projects that come to us for environment clearances get approved...”... Environment and Forests Minister Jairam Ramesh told Business Standard...The move could especially hit the mining industry. [Refers to Adani Power, NTPC, Vedanta]
