GVK Power & Infrastructure has given a clarification regarding “Australia's government halting the environmental clearance process for Alpha Mine and Rail project in Queensland, Australia, which raises wider questions about environmental clearances for future Australian coal development projects. As per some media reports, cold water was poured on Indian group's hopes of developing new foreign energy assets after Australian’s environment minister, Tony Burke, was quoted as saying, “'I am stopping the clock on the Alpha project”, he further stated, that, 'We have no interest in a delayed process. But we are not willing to compromise environmental standards. The given media reports raise wider questions about environmental clearances for future Australian coal development projects.

As a point of clarification, the company stated that Minister Burke advising that he is “stopping the clock” by no means should be interpreted that the project will not proceed, nor is it an indication of the Federal Government’s assessment decision. To this end, GVK Power & Infrastructure further cleared that the company will continue to have a positive and professional working relationship with all State and Federal Government assessment agencies and that the company remains extremely confident of a positive outcome.

Earlier, the company reported that its step down subsidiary in Australia, received the Queensland Coordinator General’s Report on the environmental clearance for the Alpha Coal and Rail Project in Queensland.
