Vedanta Aluminium has entered into long-term pact with the National Highways Authority of India to construct greener roads with fly-ash in Odisha. Fly-ash is a by-product of thermal power generation using coal.
The inherent properties of fly-ash find usage in the cement, construction and infrastructure industries. The company supplies fly ash from its Jharsuguda and Balco plants to cement industry for the production of low-carbon 'green' cement.
Besides improving product quality, in cement manufacturing, every tonne of fly-ash used can help save around 700-800 kg of carbon emissions and 341 litres of water among others.
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.
