Vedanta Aluminium, standing as India’s leading aluminium producer, has taken a significant stride in its expansion journey by commissioning a new 1.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) unit at its Lanjigarh refinery located in Odisha. This development elevates the refinery’s annual capacity to 3.5 mtpa. This augmentation is part of Vedanta Aluminium’s broader strategy to escalate the refinery’s nameplate capacity from 2 mtpa to 5 mtpa, aiming to bolster its aluminium production capabilities.
The company is at the forefront of delivering high-quality aluminium products, including the pioneering low-carbon “green” aluminium range under the Restora brand. These products are integral to a variety of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, defence, infrastructure, power projects, electricals, and packaging, highlighting their widespread applicability.
Additionally, Vedanta Aluminium is recognized as one of the foremost producers of premier smelter grade alumina (SGA), serving as a crucial component for its aluminium plants in Jharsuguda (Odisha) and BALCO (Chhattisgarh).
John Slaven, CEO of Vedanta Aluminium, emphasized the strategic importance of the refinery’s expanded capacity, noting its role in enhancing raw material security and reducing operational costs for the Jharsuguda and BALCO aluminium smelters. He highlighted that this expansion is pivotal for achieving 100% vertical integration and securing a competitive edge for sustainable growth within the global aluminium industry.
