Vedanta to reopen its south Indian copper smelter; Supreme Court clears the way
The Tamil Nadu state government ordered the smelter shut permanently in May after protests against alleged pollution at the plant in the city of Thoothukudi during which the police killed 13 demonstrators.
In December, India`s National Green Tribunal (NGT) revoked the state decision to shut the plant leading Tamil Nadu to appeal the NGT ruling. Image source: PTI
