Vedanta to Expand in Odisha with New 3 MTPA Aluminium Plant.

Vedanta is moving forward with plans to build a new 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) aluminium smelter in Dhenkanal, Odisha, a senior company official confirmed recently. This new facility would double the company's current total capacity.

Rajiv Kumar, CEO of Vedanta’s Aluminium business, stated that the company is actively in the process of acquiring land for the new "mega aluminium plant."

"We are moving towards setting up a new mega aluminium plant at Dhenkanal, Odisha, with a capacity of three million tonnes," Kumar said.

Vedanta’s current aluminium capacity is 3 MTPA. With this new project, the company aims to reach a total capacity of 6 MTPA. "We want to go to six million tonnes, for which we are actively involved in land acquisition, and hopefully things are progressing very well," Kumar added.

The planned expansion highlights Vedanta's strategy to significantly grow its presence in the aluminium sector, leveraging its operations in Odisha.
