The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has slapped an interim penalty of Rs 17.31 crore on Indian Oil Corporation Limited’s Panipat refinery for violation of environmental norms.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel directed that the amount may be deposited by the unit with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within a month by way of interim compensation for restoration of the environment, subject to further orders.
