Vedanta's proposed Aluminium Smelter at Jharsuguda, Orissa

Vedanta has started the process of establishing a huge Aluminium smelter (2,50,000TPA) and 5X135 MW captive thermal power plant at Brindamal, Jharsuguda district. The aluminium smelter wil source its alumina from the Lanjigarh Alumina Refinery. This would be one of the largest industrial projects in the area with massive implications for environment and livelihoods.  

During the public hearing for the environmental clearance of the proposed plant, there was a strong protest by the local people. A detailed application to the Orissa Pollution Controll Board submitted by Prafulla Samantra is given below.         http://www.freewebs.com/epgorissa/vedant...
