NALCO seeks MoEF’s approval to resume bauxite mining in Odisha

05 Dec 2012 Evaluate

National Aluminum Company (NALCO), the Bhubaneswar-based integrated PSU aluminium maker, is still awaiting for the Union Ministry of Forests and Environment’s (MoEF) nod for resumption of operations at its bauxite mine in Odisha. On November 17, operations at its Panchpatmali in Koraput district was stopped in absence of mine lease renewal.

The entity is now looking for one-year temporary work permit as it needs to replenish dwindling bauxite stock at its refinery at nearby Damanjodi. The decision on the temporary work permit eluded NALCO as the forest advisory committee of MoEF could not approve it at its meeting on November 27.
