Vedanta Aluminium Ramps Up Billet Production Capacity to 8.3 Lakh Tonnes Per Annum.

Vedanta Aluminium has expanded billet production capacity at its Jharsuguda operations in Odisha, taking the total capacity to 830,000 tonnes per annum. The Jharsuguda facility is the world’s largest aluminium plant.

The capacity expansion is expected to enhance the company’s ability to supply high-quality products to customers globally, broaden its value-added product (VAP) portfolio, and strengthen its support to India’s rapidly growing extrusion and downstream sectors, the company said in a statement.

Billets are key semi-finished products used in extrusion processes to manufacture precision-engineered profiles. These profiles serve critical industries such as infrastructure, transportation, renewable energy, electrical systems, consumer goods and packaging.

Citing aluminium’s high strength-to-weight ratio, recyclability and versatility, the company said billets play a crucial role in enabling sustainable manufacturing and modern design solutions.
