“Gas Wars—Crony Capitalism and the Ambanis” is journalists Paranjay Guha Thakurta, Subir Ghosh and Jyotirmoy Chaudhuri’s collaborative effort exposing one of India’s biggest business conglomerates’ murky dealings with the government.
The authors detail how a hydrocarbon production sharing contract in Gujarat’s Kasturba Gandhi Basin was allegedly rigged to benefit Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL) and Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) owned by the Ambani siblings- Anil and Mukesh respectively, at significant cost to the public exchequer. The book contends that high ranking government officials, including ministers, aided and abetted the pillage of public resources.
