Hi Suraj, I’m Adv. Niharika and here is some information which will be useful for your concern.
To answer your question, Yes, RTI Act covers governmental as well as private companies and associations, when such private institutions are public utility authorities. In your case, a company established in SIDCUL, is covered in the ambit of the RTI Act and such a company will be liable to disclose the information which has requested.
The above statements were laid in the case of Sarabjeet Roy vs. DERC (CIC/WB/A/2006/00011)
