The importer was primarily Adani Enterprises. For the 42mn tonnes of coal supplied by its own operations in that time, the Adani group declared an average price of 130 per tonne. For the 31mn tonnes of coal supplied by its three middlemen, however, the average price declared per tonne was 155, a 20 per cent premium worth almost 800mn.
