Vedanta has halted operations and appealed to the Supreme Court against an NGT order which held an environmental clearance as necessary for the purpose.

New Delhi: Did the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Goa help Vedanta jump the law in order to sell iron ore overseas even as a state-wide ban continues to be imposed on its mining by an order of the Supreme Court of India?

After purchasing 1.44 million tons of iron ore, lying unused in the state because of the ban, Vedanta had reportedly begun processing it at its Codli open pit mining lease area near Marmagao. However, no environmental clearance has been obtained by Vedanta for recommencing the operations. The operations had commenced only on the basis of clearances provided by the Pramod Sawant-led Goa government.

On March 4, 2021, the National Green Tribunal held that Vedanta was accused of committing a serious violation of law, in commencing operations to clean and prepare the ore (through a process known as ‘beneficiation’ for improving quality of ore before sale) without obtaining environmental clearance. The bench has directed the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) and the Goa State Pollution Control Board to take “further remedial action” in order “to enforce the rule of law”.
