Vedanta Odisha

With this quantum of investment, it is contributing nearly four per cent to Odisha's state GDP through its operations (direct and indirect), a company statement said.

The Odisha government on Wednesday cancelled a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Aluminium major Vedanta for the establishment of a 500-bed teaching hospital at Bhawanipatna, the district headquarters of Kalahandi district.

Vedanta emerged as the highest bidder for the Radhikapur West coal block, located in Angul district, Odisha at a distance of about 190 km from the company's Jharsuguda aluminium smelter

Normalcy returned to Lanjigarh in Odisha's Kalahandi district on Tuesday, a day after a security man was burnt to death by a mob and a protestor killed in clashes near the Vedanta alumina refinery.

A protester and a policeman died in clashes outside Vedanta Ltd's alumina refinery in Odisha, a police official said on Monday, less than a year after police killed 13 anti-Vedanta protesters in Tamil Nadu.

After Tamil Nadu shut a copper smelter run by Vedanta Resources following deadly protests, the company faces another challenge 1,000 miles away, where axe-toting tribesmen and environmentalists have joined forces to demand the closure of an alumina refinery.

Former Odisha chief secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik today said he has resigned as the president of the proposed Vedanta University.

Pinning its hope on the Odisha government for raw material linkage, Vedanta Group on Tuesday said it will try its best to keep the refinery at Lanjigarh running despite sustaining huge losses.

Vedanta Ltd will halve output at its 1 million tonne-a-year alumina refinery in Odisha state in about two months and cut jobs, a senior executive said, due mainly to a shortage of raw material bauxite and weak world prices.

Mining conglomerate Vedanta on Tuesday said it will initiate steps for gradual closure of its alumina refinery at Lanjigarh in Odisha mainly due to shortage of raw material and absence of bauxite linkage within state.

Mining and minerals giant Vedanta has said it is operating its Jharsugda aluminium facility at a mere 25 per cent of installed capacity while putting the blame on state government for absence of power linkage policy and raw material crunch.

After clearing the technical bidding stage, entities from Reliance, Adani, Essar, GMR, Vedanta and Aditya Birla groups became eligible to bid or these blocks -- one in Odisha and the other one in Madhya Pradesh.

Vedanta, which had set up 1 mtpa refinery plant at Lanjigarh in Odisha's Kalahandi district seven years ago, had been facing an acute shortage of bauxite and presently importing the raw materials from other states and countries to feed its plant. The company had to shut down the plant for some months due to shortage of bauxite in 2012.

Most of the nearly 2,000 people present on Wednesday at the public hearing in Biswanathpur village of Odisha were "OK" with the project to expand the refinery, said B. K. Upadhyaya, the top bureaucrat of the district where the village is located.
