NALCO Plans New Aluminium Smelter in Andhra Pradesh to Boost Production Capacity
State-owned NALCO plans a new 0.5 million tonne aluminium smelter in Andhra Pradesh to fully utilize its expanded alumina capacity of 3.1 million tonnes by FY28, aiming to increase aluminium production to 1.5 million tonnes. The project requires about Rs 18,000 crore investment plus Rs 11,000 crore for power. NALCO currently exports alumina but intends to focus on value-added aluminium products. The company also signed a technology deal with UAE's EGA for expansion in Odisha and is promoting the Angul Aluminium Park for industrial growth.
