Vedanta Aluminium, the largest producer of aluminium in India, would establish an aluminium park close to its primary smelter in Jharsuguda through a joint venture with the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corp. (IDCO).

Companies that use aluminium in their products can set up shop on the 253-acre park and draw molten aluminium from Vedanta's 1.75 million-tonne-per-year smelter. This will help these companies save energy by eliminating the need to remelt aluminium purchased as solid slabs or bars.
