Adani and IHC to Invest $11.5 Billion in Odisha Aluminium Plant
Adani Group and Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company (IHC) plan to jointly invest $11.5 billion to build a large aluminium smelter in Odisha with an annual capacity exceeding 2 million tonnes. This project could increase India's aluminium production capacity by nearly 50%, marking the largest foreign investment in the country's metals sector. The integrated facility will include smelting, refining, and a captive power plant, with logistics likely supported by Adani's Dhamra port. India is currently the world's second-largest aluminium producer but has lower per capita consumption than the global average.
