  1. Vedanta Lanjigarh Refinery Supports Economic Growth The Vedanta Lanjigarh Refinery plays an essential role in India's aluminium value chain. Located in Odisha's Kalahandi district, Vedanta's alumina refinery has backed regional economies since its inception, but long lacked secure local bauxite supplies for Vedanta bauxite mines.

  2. Rail Infrastructure – The Backbone of the Expansion Transporting millions of tonnes of raw materials and finished alumina requires the company to have freight corridors. The commissioning of the expanded railway network will ensure hassle-free inbound and outbound movement of raw materials and commodities. Moreover, this initiative supports Vedanta's commitment to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050, as the new railway line will reduce carbon emissions by 262 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

  3. A Transformative Step to Streamline Logistics According to Sunil Gupta, Chief Operating Officer at Vedanta Aluminium, the commissioning of a 13.4 km railway line at Vedanta Lanjigarh is a transformative move taken to streamline logistics, reduce the overall time, and support the company's long-term production goals. The move also reinforces the group's commitment to digital innovation and safe operations.

  4. Vedanta Bauxite Mines: A World-Class Refinery Without Local Bauxite Access Current Operations Import Dependency Local Support Despite all the initiatives taken by Vedanta in the region's development, the Vedanta Bauxite Mines Lanjigarh project continues to operate without a secured nearby bauxite source. Rather, the company has to import bauxite from other states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and even overseas. The locals and tribal leaders, aware of the vast Kalahandi deposits, are urging the state government to permit Vedanta's mining of local bauxite.

  5. Vedanta's Responsible Mining Framework Vedanta has always supported Odisha's growth, while reaffirming its commitment to sustainable mining. To support the region's development, Vedanta announced an investment plan worth INR 1,200 crore over the next 25 years. This investment will be made through the existing Lanjigarh Periphery Area Development Fund and the proposed Sijimali Periphery Area Development Fund. Both these funds aimed at transforming the region's growth.

  6. Final Thoughts Balancing Economic Growth with Local Development With India aspiring to become a global manufacturing hub, ignoring the strategic value of Vedanta Lanjigarh refinery would be a costly mistake. Prioritising bauxite allocation to Vedanta is not just about supporting a single company; rather, it's about balancing economic growth with local development.
