National Aluminium Company (Nalco), a Navratna PSU of government of India, has crossed another milestone in implementation of its ambitious Rs 4,402 crore 2nd phase expansion.
The company has started commissioning various expanded capacities of its alumina refinery, at Damanjodi, including cogeneration power plant, evaporation plant, stacker and bauxite circuit for production of alumina. Other packages in the plant are now under advance stage of commissioning.
It may be noted, under the 2nd phase expansion Nalco is enhancing its alumina refinery capacity from 1.575 million tonnes to 2.1 million tonnes.
Further, the company has ordered equipments to upgrade the total alumina capacity to 2.275 million tonnes under its 4th stream upgradation programme.
Earlier, the 4th potline of Nalco’s smelter plant and the 9th & 10th units of its captive power plant, both located at Angul, were commissioned. The work at refinery in Damanjodi lagged after the Maoist attack there in April 2009, when several contractors and their workers left the place. Some works were then off-loaded to other contractors.
