(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Shares of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power on Friday hit the lower circuit of 5 per cent at Rs 41.58 after the Solar energy Corporation of India (SECI) debarred the company from floating any tender for the next three years for allegedly submitting fake documents.
According to the SECI, "Reliance Power and its subsidiary Reliance NU BESS were banned after it became the lowest bidder for a project based on fake documents".
A statement issued by SECI said that as per the requirements of the tender, the bank guarantee against the EMD (issued by a foreign bank) submitted by the bidding company was "fake".
This discrepancy was found after the e-reverse auction. Due to this, the SECI had to cancel the tender process. As per the terms of the tender, the bidding company has been banned for submitting fake documents.
