India: Vedanta Aluminium secures over 1,400 acres in Odisha for 3 mnt/year smelter project

The Odisha government has allotted 1,447 acres to Vedanta Aluminium for a proposed 3 mnt/year aluminium smelter with a 4,900 MW captive power plant in Dhenkanal. The move strengthens Vedanta’s expansion plans and supports Odisha’s push to attract large-scale industrial investments beyond traditional hubs. The project also aligns with India’s 2025 Aluminium Vision, targeting production capacity of nearly 37 mnt/year by FY’47.
