28 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Expecting a three-fold increase in alumina exports to about 3 million tonne per annum (MTPA) in the next three years, state-run NALCO is set to revamp its port handling facility at Visakhapatnam. The company expects alumina exports to attain a peak of 2.7 MTPA by 2014-15 and will soon revamp the existing facility. Also, the new system after installation is likely to improve the dust mitigation measures for meeting the emission norms provided by Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board

The existing alumina handling capacity at NALCO’s Port facility at Visakhapatnam is 1 MTPA. The system including alumina ship loader was commissioned in 1987 and is inadequate to handle higher capacity vessels.

Its sales revenue grew 18 per cent to Rs 5,959 crore during the last fiscal.
