Vedanta has been supplying fly ash to many cement manufacturers around its operations in Jharsuguda. In FY22, Vedanta Jharsuguda supplied 190,000 tonne of fly ash to various cement plants in its vicinity and 60,000 tonne to local brick manufacturing MSMEs. It has dispatched its first rake consignment of 4,000 tonne of fly ash from the Jharsuguda plant to one of the plants of Holcim India – ACC Cement, Chaibasa Cement Works, to produce low-carbon cement. This initiative is a part of Vedanta Jharsuguda’s waste-to-wealth imperatives and ensures gainful utilisation of an industrial by-product in circular economy avenues. Fly ash is a by-product of thermal power generation using coal, which caters to the electricity requirement of Vedanta’s aluminium smelters at Jharsuguda. The inherent properties of fly ash can be utilised for improving product quality, conserving energy, water, and other valuable resources, and reducing the industry's carbon footprint.
