The Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise operates an integrated bauxite-alumina-aluminium-power-coal complex, with the Government of India holding a 51.28 per cent stake. NALCO said it is pursuing measures to strengthen its competitiveness amid fluctuations in London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium prices. These include optimising installed capacity, reducing specific consumption costs and expanding refinery capacity.
Its ongoing development programme includes the Pottangi Bauxite Mines project, with a planned capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), brownfield aluminium smelter expansion and new captive power plant projects.
