Trouble-struck Vedanta Resources has made a fresh application to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) to expand Lanjigarh in the Orissa project, reports CNBC-TV18 quoting sources. It is learnt that the London-based company drafted a new application accommodating the earlier concerns raised by MoEF.
The company’s COO Mukesh Kumar is likely to meet the Environment Secretary today to discuss the matter. Earlier on Monday, Chairman Anil Agarwal met Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh in the Capital and discussed the company’s Orissa bauxite mining and alumina projects.
Since last year, it has faced wrath of the MoEF on the issue of expansion of its aluminium refinery and also denied permission to mine bauxite at Niyamgiri in Orissa. Vedanta’s bid to buy Cairn's Indian venture is also caught in the logjam awaiting government approval
