Vedanta-owned Sterlite Copper smelting plant at Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu has been reportedly allowed to reopen partially for four months only to produce medical oxygen, in the wake of the severe shortage due to the pandemic. A government-appointed panel will monitor the functioning of the plant and copper production will not be allowed.
Vedanta is a diversified natural resources company, whose business primarily involves producing oil and gas, zinc- lead-silver, copper, iron ore, aluminium and commercial power.
