Mumbai, July, 20 (EPC News): Orissa High Court stalled Vedanta Aluminium Ltd’s (VAL) expansion plan of its refinery plant at Lanjigarh. The high court however, has allowed VAL to make a fresh bid to obtain environmental clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) for expansion of its existing units. Justifying the MoEF order for maintaining ‘status quo’ at the plant site, the high court said the ministry’s decision to withdraw the ToR granted to the company in 2009 was legal. The MoEF had stalled the expansion plan of VAL's refinery on October 20 last year.
