State-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) has raised objections to the choice of site for Vedanta Aluminium Ltd’s proposed plant at Bidhanbag near Asansol in West Bengal, saying that it was a coal-bearing region. "The project needs detailed discussion because of the location," CIL Chairman Partho Bhattacharya said. An official of Vedanta said the company needed 1,000 acres in the area for its alumina smelter and power plant.
