ED Searches TDI Group Premises In Gurgaon Land Scam Probe, Seizes Documents And Digital Devices

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches on September 28, 2026, at business and residential locations associated with Ravinder Taneja, chairperson of the TDI Group and managing director of multiple subsidiaries, including TDI Infratech Ltd and TDI Infrastructure Ltd, as part of its probe into the Gurgaon-Manesar land scam.

The operation, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, was initiated following a complaint by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). ED officials seized documents and digital devices, including computers, hard disks, and servers, from multiple sites in New Delhi and SAS Nagar. The ED is scrutinizing the TDI Group's dealings with Atul Bansal and his affiliated ABWIL group, particularly transactions linked to land purchases and sales between 2005 and 2007.

Over 400 acres in Manesar, Naurangpur, and Lakhnoula villages were earmarked for acquisition in 2007, with private builders and intermediaries buying portions at low prices from farmers. Concerns over the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation's (HSIIDC) acquisition led to the sale of these parcels at significantly higher prices to the Atul Bansal group.

The ED has named the TDI Group as one of the intermediaries in these transactions. The agency is examining seized materials to uncover irregularities in other projects and the financial dealings of TDI Group companies. Luxury vehicles seized by the ED are also under investigation as potential proceeds of crime. The ED's probe into the land scam remains ongoing.
