Looks as though Vedanta Resources will not be mining in the Niyamgiri hills. “The environment ministry has rejected London-listed Vedanta Resources Ltd’s request to mine bauxite in the Niyamgiri hills of Odisha state after local residents opposed mining in the area they consider sacred, an official said on Saturday,” reports Reuters.
“Vedanta Aluminium’s 1 million tonne-a-year alumina refinery in the eastern state has been struggling to source key raw material bauxite since its commissioning in August 2007. The company has been forced to import bauxite as a result.”
“‘Vedanta forest clearance has been rejected. There will be no mining in Niyamgiri hills,’ Saswat Mishra, Chairman of the Orissa Mining Corporation told Reuters. An official of Vedanta declined to comment.”
