Graphite India Ltd has got a legal reprieve from the Karnataka State Appellate Authority, which has set aside the closure order on its Bangalore unit by the Karnataka State Pollution Board last year.
The appellate authority in an order late last month “set aside the impugned order”, the management informed the shareholders at the company’s AGM here on Monday.
The company had moved the appellate authority, which in an interim order had in July stayed the board’s order. Hence, Graphite India could resume operation at the plant in the Whitefield area of the city.
The company has 13,000 tpa capacity to produce graphite electrodes and employed around 450 people at the plant.
