Imports to revive Vedanta‘s Lanjigarh refinery
“We are looking at the possibility of importing bauxite as it will enable us to restart operations of the refinery quickly.

Although imported bauxite will be costlier for VAL, the firm is considering the option for the time being amid a hostile regulatory environment that has led to the suspension of many bauxite mines and also a lack of firm commitment from private miners on supplies.
