Sesa Goa to suspend mining in Karnataka after SC ban

29 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Sesa Goa would stop mining in Karnataka's Chitradurga with immediate effect, following the Supreme Court's order banning mining in Chitradurga and Tumkur districts. The annual permitted capacity of the mine (in Chitradurga) at present is 6 million tonnes. The apex court had extended the ban on mining to Tumkur and Chitradurga districts, while acting on a recommendation by its expert panel for halting extraction of iron ores in the two districts of the state. Mining in Bellary region had already been banned by the court on July 29.

The mining ban on Sesa Goa, in Chitradurga which has produced 18.8 million tonnes of iron ore in the last fiscal, will affect its gross revenues by up to 15 per cent. Suspension of mining in Chitradurga will also affect company's expansion plans in Karnataka. The company was expecting to commission a new pig iron plant of 625 kilo-tonnes per annum (ktpa) and the associated expansion of metallurgical coke capacity to 560 ktpa by December-end. It had also targeted to expand its iron ore production capacity in the state to 7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in immediate future and was in talks with the government for environmental clearance.crackcrack
