The Supreme Court of India has dismissed an appeal by Vedanta Group to reopen its Sterlite copper smelter plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The court cited "repeated breaches" and "serious violations" on Vedanta's part, and upheld the Tamil Nadu government's decision to shut down the plant due to environmental concerns. The plant has been closed since 2018 after a police firing incident during protests against the polluting unit.
