Anil Ambani Skips ED Summons Again as Agency Demands In-Person FEMA Deposition

He has offered to record his statement by video in the JaipurReengus highway foreign‑exchange inquiry.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate reissued a summons for November 17 and refused a virtual appearance, but Anil Ambani did not show up.
  • Investigators allege about Rs 40 crore was siphoned from the 2010 JaipurReengus project via Surat-based shell firms to Dubai, pointing to a wider hawala network of over Rs 600 crore.
  • The agency has recorded statements from multiple individuals, including alleged hawala operators, which led to the latest call for Ambani’s deposition.
  • ED says provisional attachments in connected money‑laundering and bank‑fraud probes involving Reliance group entities now exceed Rs 7,545 crore.
  • Ambani’s spokesperson says the toll-road contract was purely domestic with no foreign-exchange component and that he served only as a non-executive director not involved in daily operations.
