Interview with Anil Agarwal, the CEO of Vedanta Resources - NDTV Profit

vero — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:29:44 +0100

Mining giant Vedanta’s proposed bauxite mine in Orissa's Niyamgiri Hills has sparked protests in India and abroad. The environmental ministry, reacting to reports that the mining will impact the livelihood and traditions of the tribals who live in the vicinity of the mine has withheld a final clearance to the mine.

In February this year, The Church of England decided to sell its entire stake in Vedanta, a FTSE listed company. But in an exclusive interview with NDTV’s Srinivasan Jain, the CEO of Vedanta Resources, Anil Agarwal, says he is going ahead with the project despite mounting unrest.

South African squatters are suggesting that they will protest during the soccer World Cup to dramatize the lack of affordable housing and horribly deprived and neglected condition of their communities.

Understandable. After all, the South African government and various municipalities are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the Football World Cup, including, the Telegraph notes, $170 million just for security.

Royal Dutch Shell's controversial plans to drill for billions of barrels of oil in the Arctic's environmentally sensitive frozen waters face a potentially damaging legal challenge.

An alliance of conservation and Alaskan indigenous groups has filed a legal claim to prevent Shell drilling for oil this year in the Arctic Ocean's Chukchi Sea. Two years ago, Shell paid $2.1bn (£1.3bn) to the US government for 275 oil leases there.
