<h1>Adani Group Cleared to Cut 209 Mangroves for High Voltage Line; Balancing Development with Environment Under 2018 Order.</h1> The Bombay High Court has granted the Adani group permission to cut 209 mangroves for constructing a high voltage transmission line to boost electricity supply in Mumbai and its suburbs. The court recognized the project's public importance, as the current transmission capacity is insufficient. The project spans 80 kilometers, with 30 kilometers of overhead lines and 50 kilometers of underground cables, passing through Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar districts. The court emphasized the need to balance sustainable development with environmental preservation. The decision aligns with a 2018 order requiring court approval for mangrove destruction in public projects.
