Vedanta puts Lanjigarh alumina refinery expansion in Odisha on hold.

Vedanta Resources has put on hold a five-fold expansion plan of its Lanjigarh refinery in Odisha even as it is mulling sourcing bauxite from other sources away from Niyamgiri Hills to feed existing and future operations.

'With regard to the expansion project at Lanjigarh, the company's fresh application for environmental clearance is in process and in the meantime the expansion plans are on hold,' the Anil Agarwal-led company said in its results statement.
