The National Aluminium Company Limited (Nalco) targets to produce 68.25 lakh tonnes of bauxite and 21.50 lakh tonnes of alumina from its mines and refinery unit at Damanjodi in Koraput district during the current fiscal year. "In 2015-16, we broke all our records by producing 63.4 lakh tonnes of bauxite and 19.53 lakh tonnes of alumina at our Damanjodi unit," said chairman-cum-managing director Tapan Kumar Chand.
In the coming years, Nalco will emerge as a global player in mining, metal and energy sectors. There would be a major turnaround in the business plan of the company to meet the turbulent business environment, he added.

Chand presented a cheque, amounting to INR 260.72 crore to Union steel and mines minister Narendra Singh Tomar as interim dividend on the 80.93 per cent shares held by the government of India in New Delhi on Monday.
