Odisha's AL renaissance: Angul Aluminium Park sets the stage for a global manufacturing hub

Odisha today sits at the commanding heights of India’s aluminium industry, contributing nearly 72 per cent of the country’s primary metal output. Yet this dominance has long carried a paradox. The state has remained a smelter powerhouse without building the deep downstream ecosystem that converts hot metal into high-value products such as extrusions, rolled sheets, foils and castings. That imbalance is what the government and National Aluminium Company (NALCO) now seek to correct through the Angul Aluminium Park. If the project achieves its ambition, Odisha could transform from being merely the backbone of India’s upstream aluminium supply into a centre of value-added excellence with global competitiveness.
