Who it hits first

- One combined company cuts audit, board and borrowing paperwork and gives investors cleaner accounts.

- Lenders to Adani Power, such as REC, get a single clearer borrower instead of many small ones.
- Rival power makers such as NTPC, Tata Power and JSW Energy gain nothing — no customers or power contracts move.
