Indian government-owned National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO) has finally decided to commission its expanded refinery capacity this month, according to a Hindu Business Line article.
The company is enhancing production capacity at the refinery in Damanjodi, nearly 400 kilometers from state capital Bhubaneswar, from 1.58 million metric tons to 2.1 million metric tons, which will be further upgraded to 2.28 million metric tons.
The company has earlier estimated that the expansion plan may cost Rs 44 billion ($978.2 million), but now it is believed that the second phase of expansion could see a 10 percent cost increase.
NALCO’s 1.58-million-ton alumina refinery, having three parallel streams of equal capacity, is located in the valley of Damanjodi in the eastern Indian state of Orissa.
