Vedanta Aluminum Ltd (VAL) is open to make a fresh proposal to obtain environmental clearance for the expansion plans at its aluminum unit in Lanjigarh, Orissa.
However, the company said it wanted the government to consider its application on par with other companies like Lavasa, Posco, SAIL and Jindal Power Ltd, who had recently got a green nod for their projects. “We are open to the idea, provided we are treated at par with other companies (by the Ministry of Environment and Forests),” a senior company official said.
Vedanta is keen on initiating a dialogue with the environment ministry to understand what process it needs to follow to fast track the clearance.
