New Delhi: Reliance Infrastructure Limited (R-Infra) on Friday disclosed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a provisional attachment order against the company’s shareholdings in its high-profile power and metro subsidiaries. The attachment order, valued at approximately ₹1,575 crore, is linked to an investigation into alleged money laundering activities.
The ED’s Provisional Attachment Order (No. 10/2026), received by the company on January 28, 2026, targets the shareholding in the following critical infrastructure assets:
BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL): A major power distribution utility in Delhi.
BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL): The primary electricity distributor for south and west Delhi.
Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL): The special purpose vehicle operating Mumbai’s first metro line.
The probe pertains to a period spanning from 2017 to 2019, and the financial implications for the listed parent company are estimated to be the full attached amount of ₹1,575 crore.
According to the regulatory filing made with the BSE and NSE, the ED’s action is based on “alleged violations of PMLA”. The Prevention of Money Laundering Act allows the agency to provisionally attach properties it believes are “proceeds of crime,” a move that prevents the owner from selling or transferring the assets while the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings continue.
Reliance Infrastructure, which is chaired by Anil Ambani, stated that it is currently seeking legal counsel to challenge the order.
”The Company, based on legal advice, will take all appropriate action to protect the interest of its shareholders,” the firm said in its Form A disclosure. The filing, signed by Company Secretary Paresh Rathod, emphasizes that the company intends to contest the findings and the attachment through appropriate judicial channels.
The development is expected to be closely watched by investors and lenders, as the attached entities—particularly the Delhi power DISCOMs—are core revenue-generating assets for the group. This disclosure follows an earlier intimation dated January 28, 2026, providing further clarity on the scale and scope of the ED’s intervention.
Shares of Reliance Infrastructure (RELINFRA) remained in focus following the late-evening disclosure on the stock exchanges.
