National Aluminium Company (NALCO) has fully depended upon Mahanadi Coalfields (MCL) for supply of coal to its Captive Power Plant (CPP) at Angul and Steam & Power Plant at Damanjodi. NALCO's requirement of coal for its CPP at Angul is around 17000 tonnes per day. At present, NALCO's CPP is receiving around 8,000 - 9,000 tonnes per day and there is a shortfall of around 7,000 - 8,000 tonnes per day. Due to this short supply, which is running since the last seven weeks, the buffer stock of coal available with NALCO's captive power plant has been exhausted.
Short supply of coal has severely impacted aluminium production of company and also the cost of power, as the power purchased from the grid is costly as compared to the power produced by the company at its CPP.
NALCO has the largest integrated alumina-aluminium complex of Asia. Its integrated operations cover the entire aluminium production value chain from mining bauxite, refining alumina, smelting aluminium, captive power generation to a strong logistic network in terms of rail & port facilities, coal mining and handling plant to support its operations and to become one of the most cost-efficient aluminium companies across the globe.
