About National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO)

NALCO is renowned globally for its cost-efficiency in alumina production, largely due to its high-quality captive bauxite mines at Panchpatmali. The company is a key player in India's industrial sector and a significant exporter of alumina and aluminium to the international market.

2. Aluminium Smelter: Located in Angul, the smelter converts alumina into aluminium metal, including ingots, wire rods, and rolled products.

3. Captive Power Plant (CPP): To meet the energy-intensive requirements of smelting, NALCO operates a massive 1200 MW thermal power plant.

4. Renewable Energy: The company has diversified into green energy with significant wind power capacities across multiple states and ongoing solar projects.
