Vedanta to ramp up production in Odisha's Lanjigarh alumina refinery

Total alumina production in FY20 seen at 1.8 million tonne from 1.5 million tonne in the previous fiscal

Vedanta’s Lanjigarh alumina refinery is set for a record performance in FY20, with total production expected to increase to 1.8 million tonne (mt) from 1.5 mt in the previous financial year.
 
The jump in production will be backed by a significant improvement in operating efficiencies, the company informed in a release on Thursday.
 
The improvement in operational parameters has been driven by 26 per cent reduction in caustic soda consumption and 19 per cent decline in conversion cost.
 
The unit has achieved 9 per cent reduction in bauxite cost per tonne through strategic bauxite sourcing.
