What is the NEWS
Adani Enterprises Ltd. has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with International Resources Holding (IRH), which is a subsidiary of IHC Group Company, to form a 50:50 joint venture project for setting up of the most integrated green field aluminium project in Odisha.
This project will have an investment worth $11.5 billion ($1.08 lakh crore), and it is the biggest integrated aluminium investment in India, and Odisha’s largest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) proposal.
This project will consist of a 4 Million Metric Tonne Per Annum (MMTPA) alumina refinery, a 2 MMTPA aluminium smelter, a 4,000 MW captive power plant, and a 1 MMTPA downstream manufacturing park, all forming a fully integrated value chain for aluminium from mining through to manufacturing value added products.
This project will involve two phases of work, whereby the first phase will see an investment of Rs. 66,000 crore while the second will have an investment worth Rs. 44,000 crore. The project is estimated to create more than 53,500 jobs, with nearly 35,000 job creation coming from the construction phase while the remaining 18,500 jobs will come from mining, refining, and aluminium manufacturing and downstream manufacturing. Indirect employment will also be created in areas such as logistics, engineering and maintenance, among other ancillary services.
Downstream manufacturing will involve companies manufacturing products meant for transport, construction, power, packaging, renewable energy and engineering, which will also help the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This project once up and running is expected to increase the base of India in aluminium manufacturing and its presence in the aluminium value chain worldwide.
This project will also make Odisha, which is already the largest producer of bauxite in India, become a major global aluminium manufacturing center. After signing the MoU, the partners and the Odisha government will work on land acquisition and statutory clearance among other steps.
