Sources said the CM had received complaints that land allotted to NSP Infrastructure Ltd at Ichapor village in Surat district and transfer of the land of Hydrocarbon & Power SEZ Ltd to MRF Ltd at Villyat in Bharuch had been done without due process as required under GIDC policy. The state allegedly suffered a loss of Rs 300 crore. The sources further said that the CM had asked chief secretary J N Singh to conduct an inquiry. Singh handed the probe to MD of GIDC D Thara and ACS, industry and mines, P K Taneja.
