Vedanta puts on sale its Sterlite copper smelting plant in Tamil Nadu

The Vedanta-owned Sterlite Copper smelter is up for sale, more than four years after it was shuttered as activist-led protests over alleged pollution from the plant turning violent.

Vedanta NSE -0.11 % Limited has invited expressions of interest for its copper smelter at Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu in conjunction with Axis Capital. It published advertisements in newspapers on Monday inviting bids with a deadline of July 4.
