NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Sterlite Industries Ltd's 300,000 tonnes per year copper plant in India, the country's largest, will remain closed at least until an April 9 hearing about complaints of a sulphur dioxide gas leak, government sources said on Tuesday.
Three officials who work for the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board said the plant would not open before a hearing at the southern bench of National Green Tribunal.
The smelter was shut last week after the pollution board said sulphur dioxide had leaked from the plant.
