According to a Comptroller and Auditor General report V K Sibal gave undue favors to RIL and permitted the company to inflate its 'development costs from $2.47 to 8.84 billion - in the capital expenditure of RIL's exploration project in the Krishna Godavari Basin. This affected the revenue of government of India that is the revenue of all the Indian citizens.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed an FIR against former director general of Hydrocarbons VK Sibal on charges of allegedly scuttling an enquiry by CVC on discrepancies in oil exploration operates and contracts executed by domestic and foreign players.

The CBI had said that Sibal, while serving as the DGH, had delayed the CVC enquiry in which the anti-corruption watchdog had found that he had extended "undue favours to private companies in grant of extension in exploration contracts".

Though the capital cost may have got escalated, still the deal was good one for India. RIL is supplying gas at 1/3rd cost as that of imported cooking gas. No loss to exchequer has occured.
