The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India.

The Company has an optical fiber manufacturing plant located at Aurangabad, India and Telecom Cable & Power Transmission Conductor plants at Silvassa & Pune, India. In 2002, Sterlite was forced to shelve plans for a large new facility in Bangalore due to market weakness.[1]
[edit] Awards and controversies
In 2002, Sterlite was the subject of a major lawsuit by Fitel USA, a subsidiary of Furukawa Electric charging Sterlite with infringement of a number of optical fiber patents including those related to manuacturing fiber with low polarization mode dispersion.
