The published purchaser data reportedly includes the name “HUB POWER COMPANY,” but a name match alone does not confirm which incorporated entity made the purchase. India Today’s 2024 fact-check describes the entry as dated 18 April 2019 and covering 14 bonds worth ₹95 lakh; those details should be attributed to that fact-check, not treated as independently verified from the underlying dataset.
What the “HUB POWER COMPANY” entry tells us
The name reported in the electoral-bond data is a purchaser-name label. It is not, by itself, proof that the purchaser was Hub Power Company Limited, the company based in Pakistan. Establishing that identity would require corroborating evidence—such as the purchaser’s jurisdiction, corporate registration details, or a primary record linking the buyer to that company. The sources cited here do not establish such a link.
India Today’s 2024 fact-check reports that the entry is dated 18 April 2019 and records 14 bonds totaling ₹95 lakh. These are the fact-check’s reported details of the row; they should not be presented as figures independently transcribed or confirmed from the Election Commission of India’s purchaser file.
How the electoral-bond data became public
On 15 February 2024, the Supreme Court directed the State Bank of India (SBI) to disclose details of electoral bonds purchased from 12 April 2019 onward, including the purchase date, purchaser name and denomination. The Press Information Bureau later reported that SBI supplied data to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on 21 March 2024, following Supreme Court directions dated 15 February, 11 March and 18 March.

The ECI said it uploaded the material as received from SBI, “as is where is basis.” That describes how the ECI characterized its publication; it does not resolve the identity behind every purchaser-name string.

Company names can be similar, and a data label may not contain the details needed to distinguish between entities. To conclude that the Pakistani company made a purchase, a reader would need a reliable connection between the row and that specific legal entity—not merely wording that resembles its name. The material cited here does not provide that connection or establish the purchaser’s nationality.
The Government of India’s description of the Electoral Bond Scheme 2018 says eligible political parties registered under section 29A and meeting the prescribed vote threshold could receive bonds. SBI was authorized to issue and encash them through designated branches. Those scheme rules explain the system’s basic roles; they do not identify the company behind this particular label.
Quick Recap
What can responsibly be concluded
- The ECI published SBI-supplied electoral-bond data in March 2024 after Supreme Court directions.
- A purchaser-name label reading “HUB POWER COMPANY,” as reported by India Today, does not by itself prove that Pakistan’s Hub Power Company Limited bought the bonds.
- The date, count and total attributed to the row—18 April 2019, 14 bonds and ₹95 lakh—are reported by India Today’s 2024 fact-check and are not independently verified here against the ECI file.
