Stardust Power Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Stardust Power Inc. (SDST) announced on January 20, 2026 that it has received the air quality construction permit (“Air Permit”) from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality for its Muskogee lithium carbonate refinery project (the “Facility”). The company filed a Form 8‑K reporting a press release; the permit is described as the environmental approval required for construction and commissioning of the Facility.

Key Details

• Filing date / press release: January 20, 2026; press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8‑K.
• Permit: Air quality construction permit issued by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (Oklahoma DEQ).
• Project: Muskogee lithium carbonate refinery — the permit is identified as the environmental approval needed to begin construction and commissioning.

Why It Matters
Receiving the Air Permit removes a key regulatory hurdle for Stardust’s Muskogee refinery, meaning the company can proceed with construction and commissioning activities tied to that project. For investors, this is a material development in the project execution timeline, though the filing does not disclose financial details, costs, or a construction schedule. Shareholders should expect additional updates on construction timing, capital needs, and operational milestones in future filings or press releases.
