No nod for projects linked to banned mines

Following the Supreme Court's ban on iron ore mining at Bellary, Tumkur and Chitradurga in Karnataka, the Ministry of Environment and Forests has decided not to clear any integrated steel and sponge iron plants dependent on iron ore from these districts.

The Expert Appraisal Committee at both the Centre and state levels, will not consider proposals relating to integrated steel plants and sponge iron plants that seek to source iron ore from these districts till the ban is lifted. The ministry has also directed the Expert Appraisal Committee to delist any such proposals that may be under consideration.
