Vedanta expands alumina refining capacity to 3.5 MTPA

Vedanta Aluminium, India?s largest producer of aluminium, today announced a major milestone in its ongoing expansion efforts to be amongst the top 3 global players with 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of aluminium production capacity. In a significant step towards achieving 100% vertical integration, the company today announced the successful commissioning of the new 1.5 MTPA expansion at its world-class alumina refinery in Lanjigarh, Odisha. With this, the alumina refinery?s production capacity has now increased to 3.5 MTPA from the existing 2 MTPA.

The company is also one of the largest producers of premier smelter grade alumina (SGA) in India, a key raw material for the company?s aluminium plants in Jharsuguda (Odisha) and BALCO (Chhattisgarh).

John Slaven, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said "We are delighted to commission the expanded capacity which strengthens our raw material security and reduces costs for our Jharsuguda and BALCO aluminium smelters. It is a significant step towards 100% vertical integration and strongly positions us for sustainable growth within the global aluminium market."
