Vedanta Ltd. will have to keep its plans to resume operations at its copper smelter in India on hold for longer after a local court rejected an appeal to restart the plant.

The Madras High Court on Tuesday refused permission to restart the plant in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state. The order said a decision on a petition to the demolish plant hadn’t been decided.
