In an official statement, APDCL clarified that the prosecution referenced in the US court proceedings has no connection with Assam's solar power projects or the company’s power procurement sources. The organisation emphasised that the court order cited in the report does not mention Assam, rendering the claims irrelevant.

The solar power projects developed by Azure Power in Assam were awarded in 2018 through a transparent process, with tariffs fixed for the entire 25-year tenure at rates lower than the average cost. APDCL also stressed that these projects have no links to Adani Green or any other entities, countering further insinuations made in the report.

The Assam Chief Minister’s Office also issued a strong denial on platform X.
