Anil Agarwal-promoted Vedanta Ltd quietly lobbied the government for diluting key environmental regulations related to the oil
and mining industries during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) alleged in a new report on Friday.
OCCRP’s report on Vedanta came a day after the US-based non-profit media organisation published an article on the Adani group, alleging that hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in publicly traded Adani stocks through Mauritius-based “opaque” investment funds by associates of the promoter family. The Adani group had denied the allegations.
