Sesa Sterlite has received approval from the affected locals to expand capacity of its Lanjigarh refinery from 1 million tonne per annum (mtpa) to 6 mtpa at a time when the refinery is running at reduced capacity due to absence of raw material linkage.

After being denied access to bauxite deposits of Niyamgiri Hills on environmental issues, the Lanjigarh refinery is currently running at about half of its rated capacity.

The public hearing was conducted as Sesa Sterlite makes a fresh bid to obtain environment clearance to ramp up its refinery capacity to 6 mtpa. In October 2010, the Union ministry of environment & forests (MoEF) red flagged the company's expansion plan, citing that it had commenced work on expanding capacity without prior environment clearance in violation of Section 19 of the Environment Protection Act of 1986.

Sesa Sterlite is one of the world’s largest diversified natural resource companies. Its business primarily involves exploring, extracting and processing minerals and oil & gas.
