Vedanta Acquires Land for 3MTPA Aluminium Smelter in Odisha

Vedanta is in the process of acquiring land for a 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) aluminium smelter in Dhenkanal, Odisha, a senior company official confirmed on Wednesday.
“We are moving towards setting up a new mega aluminium plant in Dhenkanal, Odisha, with a capacity of three million tonnes,” said Rajiv Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vedanta’s Aluminium business.
Currently, Vedanta’s total capacity stands at 3 million tonnes. “We aim to reach six million tonnes, for which we are actively involved in land acquisition. Progress is moving very well,” Kumar added.
He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of ALUMEX India 2025, organised by the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India (ALEMAI) in New Delhi from 10–13 September.
The proposed green aluminium smelter is expected to generate over 200,000 jobs. On investment, Kumar noted that aluminium production is capital-intensive, with projects of this scale taking three to four years to complete.
Vedanta is also a manufacturer and exporter of billets, a key raw material for the extrusion industry. “We have a roadmap in place. Our billet capacity is currently 580 kilotonnes, and we are moving to double it,” he said.
Additionally, Kumar stated that the company plans to establish an aluminium park in Jharsuguda, Odisha, inviting downstream players to set up manufacturing units at the park.
ALUMEX India 2025, India’s first dedicated aluminium extrusion exhibition, is expected to host more than 200 exhibitors and around 25,000 business visitors from across the aluminium value chain.
