General Introduction

VAL Alumina Refinery: 1 MMTPA

Expansion to 6 MMTPA

Expand the capacity of aluminium smelter by 13.5 LTPA with

Captive Power Plant of 5 x 135 MW (675 MW) capacity at

Jharsuguda, Orissa.

After expansion, the total capacity of smelter will be 16 LTPA and

1350 MW CPP.

Estimated cost, including environmental management of Rs. 593

crores = Rs.6,500 crores
