Sesa Goa is likely to restart iron ore mining from Karnataka in June, after the country’s top court lifted a 21-month ban imposed for environmental violations. After the restart, the entity aims a strong demand for the ore within the state. Last month, the Supreme Court had allowed Vedanta’s iron ore unit Sesa Goa and eight other companies to restart operations in Karnataka. In July 2010, Karnataka barred iron-ore exports to increase local supplies of the steelmaking ingredient.

The company has reported net loss after taxes of Rs 174.93 crore in Q4FY13 as compared to net profit of Rs 648.21 crore in the same quarter previous year. The total income from operation of the company plunged by 85.75% to Rs 290.58 crore as compared to Rs 2039.76 crore in corresponding quarter last year.
