  • The Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta group is set to strengthen ties in Africa.

    The company already has a long-standing presence in Africa by investing more than $4 billion in its African operations since 2004.

    The Vedanta Group would be signing two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with South African companies during Agarwal's visit to South Africa as part of a delegation accompanying PM Modi.

    The year in August, an Indian Environment Ministry inquiry rejected Vedanta's plans for a bauxite mine in Orissa.

    A local subsidiary of Vedanta was also accused of violating regulations on forest conservation.
