The action was taken yesterday, the DRI said in a release today.
Based on a tip-off, DRI officials from Vijayawada and Kakinada launched an operation and intercepted a car near Rajamahendravaram.
"During a search, they recovered 201.35 kgs ganja, which was found concealed in 93 packets in the car," it said.
