Vedanta is reportedly aiming at zero alumina imports by 2020. By then, the company is looking to reach its full nameplate capacity of six million tonnes per annum (mtpa) at its Lanjigarh alumina refinery in Odisha.
The Lanjigarh refinery’s present de-bottlenecked capacity is 1.7-2 mtpa. The company’s plan to ramp up capacity to 6 mtpa is subject to approvals by the Odisha government and clearances from the Union ministry of environment, forest & climate change (MoEF&CC).
Vedanta is a diversified natural resources company, whose business primarily involves producing oil and gas, zinc- lead-silver, copper, iron ore, aluminium and commercial power.
