Vedanta Aluminium granted access to laterite deposits by the Orissa Govt.

1MINS READ
Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL) will be granted laterite deposits by for their Lanjgarh in Kalahandi district the State Government announced on Friday.

An agreement will be signed between the government and VAL to explore the laterite deposits which contain substantial amount of aluminium although special technology is needed to extract it from the laterite soil.

VAL was running short of raw materials for the Lanjigarh refinery after permission to mine in the sensitive Niyamgiri Hills was denied by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). The group had urged the government to provide alternate bauxite supplies and fast track its application for three laterite deposits in Koraput district.

Vedanta has applied to 33 alternative bauxite mines like Karlapat, Sasbahumali, Gandhamardhan and Ghusramali for mining permission but all of them are stuck at different stages for approval. The Lanjigarh refinery at present has to source raw materials from other states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh to run its one million tonne capacity.
