Vedanta Limited is aiming to produce 1.7 million tonne of aluminium this fiscal by a capacity ramp-up at Balco and Odisha’s Jharsuguda plants.

Tom Albanese, Vedanta Limited Group CEO has said that “Ever since April 1 this year, we have been ramping up our aluminium lines at Balco and Odisha. We would expect that all the Balco lines would be raised this year.”

He further said that “In Odisha, we have four new pot lines that we would be ramping up.”

“That would get us to total annualised production capacity of about 1.6-1.7 million tonnes of aluminium per year and I would compare it with last year’s aluminium production level of about 900 thousand tonnes.”
