AN INDIAN court yesterday (1) declined to provide any interim comfort to Vedanta owned Sterlite to conduct maintenance work at its closed copper smelter unit in Tuticorin of the southern Indian state, Tamil Nadu.

The Madras high court posted the matter to March 27 for further hearing. The bench has also asked the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) to file its reply by then inconnection with the case.

Sterlite in its plea filed according to the recent suggestion of the country’s top court, has questioned the May 23, 2018 orders of TNPCB refusing the renewal consent to the plant as well as permanent closure, terming them as wholly illegal, unconstitutional and ultra vires.

Earlier,Tamil Nadu state government ordered the permanent shutdown of the plant in the wake of violent protests against Sterlite that led to death of 13 people in police firing last year.

The local residents were protesting against environment pollution being allegedly caused by the copper smelter.

India’s apex court on February 18 had set aside the order of the country’s environment court permitting the opening of the plant but gave a choice to the firm to approach the high court against the closure order.

OnlyFans has grown into one of the most profitable companies in Britain, despite employing just 47 people

OnlyFans made £513m in dividends for its owner before he died, here's the full picture

  • OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky received dividends worth more than £513m (over $700m) before his death in March at the age of 43.
  • The company made $714m in profit before tax last year, a rise of 5 per cent from 2024, despite employing only 47 people.
  • OnlyFans has paid over $30 billion to creators since launch, according to chief executive Keily Blair.

The man behind OnlyFans was paid an extraordinary sum in dividends in the months leading up to his death from cancer earlier this year, newly published company accounts show. Fenix International Ltd, the British company that owns the streaming platform, paid its late owner Leonid Radvinsky more than £513m (around $700m) before he died in March.

According to Fenix International's annual report, the company made $714m in profit before tax last year, up 5 per cent from 2024. What makes the figure especially striking is the size of the company behind it. OnlyFans employs just 47 people, a staggeringly small workforce for a business generating that kind of profit. For comparison, Marks and Spencer, which employs more than 65,000 people, made £671m in profit last year, roughly in the same ballpark as OnlyFans despite a workforce thousands of times larger.
