The Delhi High Court has granted interim relief to Vedanta Ltd, in an order dated 24 July, directing status quo on the coal ministry's move to appropriate ₹29.23 crore from the company's ₹263.17 crore performance bank guarantee amid a dispute over delays at its Radhikapur (West) coal mine in Odisha.

Vedanta had challenged a 21 July order by the coal ministry's Nominated Authority directing the appropriation from its ₹263.17 crore guarantee. In its writ petition, a copy of which was reviewed by Mint, the company sought a stay on the order and an extension of project milestones, citing regulatory delays and unforeseen ecological issues.
