These projects were projected to earn around $2 billion (₹16,800 crore) in profits over 20 years, and alleged bribes of about ₹2,200 crore were said to have been paid between 2021–2022.

Because the money reportedly came from a U.S.-listed company, the case fell under American jurisdiction, and the New York District Court has taken up the matter.
