BHUBANESWAR: The Vedanta Alumina Limited (VAL) today strongly denied starting any mining activity in Niyamgiri hills of Kalahandi where its alumina project is sited.
Mining will be undertaken by a joint venture (JV) company between the Orissa Mining Corporation (OMC) and Sterlite Industries India Ltd (SIIL), and not by Vedanta Aluminium, as per the Supreme Court directive last year.
