Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises Chairman Anil Ambani on Saturday refuted reports about denial of visa to him by the Russian government, saying he never applied for it.

"The question of denial of visa does not arise as Anil Ambani has never applied for a visa to Russia," a spokesperson for Ambani said.

Earlier in the day, India's Ambassador to Russia Kanwal Sibal had said that Moscow had denied
visa to a group of young entrepreneurs led by Anil Ambani and Anand Mahindra for a meeting in St. Petersburg.
