Vedanta today announced that the State Pollution Control Board, Odisha ('SPCB') has revoked order for closure of three units (two units of 135 MW each and one unit of 600 MW) on September 20, 2017, and hence restarted these units of power plant. The company will not need to buy the 200 MW power from external sources.

On 13 September 2017, SPCB had directed a temporary closure of the five power plant units (three units of 135 MW each of the 1215 MW power plant, and two units of 600 MW each of the 2400 MW power plant), following a breach in the Ash Pond dyke wall at Jharsuguda.
The revocation order will help the Company get complete reliable power generation back in place, satisfying the current requirement for Smelter operations.
