Newsroom, January 07, 2026: The Enforcement Directorate has flagged suspected misuse of foreign funds to influence India's energy policies through advocacy against fossil fuels.

The probe, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, centers on Ghaziabad-based Satat Sampada Private Limited, which received more than ₹6 crore in inward remittances between 2021 and 2025, shown as consultancy fees from groups like Climate Action Network and Stand.Earth.

Investigators say these funds, routed from entities backed by international philanthropies, aimed to promote the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty—a proposed global pact to phase out fossil fuel production.
