Vedanta Aluminium has expanded its alumina refining capacity to 3.5 million tonnes at its Lanjigarh unit in Odisha, aiming for further growth in production.
New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI) Vedanta Aluminium on Wednesday said it has expanded its annual alumina refining capacity to 3.5 million tonnes at its Lanjigarh unit in Odisha.
The alumina refining capacity earlier was 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), the company said in a statement.
It plans to further increase alumina refining capacity to 5 MTPA, besides increasing aluminium production capacity to 3 MTPA from 2.37 MTPA at present, the Vedanta Group company said.

It is a significant step towards 100 per cent vertical integration and strongly positions us for sustainable growth within the global aluminium market".
