Conservation groups have criticised Prince William's Earthshot Prize for staging its 17 November awards in Mumbai at a venue owned by the Ambani family's Reliance Industries, which runs the world's largest oil refinery. Critics also point to the family's controversial Vantara mega-zoo, which faces questions over rare animal imports. Earthshot says it is paying the standard commercial rate and chose the site for practical reasons.
