Vedanta Aluminum has expanded the capacity of its Lanjigarh refinery in Odisha’s Kalahandi from 2 MTPA to 5 MTPA, significantly increasing India’s total alumina refining capacity to nearly 13 MTPA and positioning the country as the world’s third largest producer.
The expansion would increase India’s total alumina refining capacity to nearly 13 MTPA and position the country as the third largest producer in the world, the country said in a statement.
“Scaling our operations in Lanjigarh to 5 MTPA is both a capacity milestone and a step towards a resilient, world-class aluminum value chain. Our ramp-up, evidenced by record monthly outputs, reflects our commitment to responsible resource development, innovation and long-term value creation for the nation,” said Rajiv Kumar, CEO of Vedanta Aluminum.
The refinery started an expansion project in 2020.
The plant also achieved the “highest ever monthly alumina production” of 254 KT in November, up 8 percent month-on-month and growing 68 percent year-on-year, the statement said.
