Reuters reported that Vedanta Ltd’s director of commodities for the aluminium business Mr Deeptaman Mukherjee said that annual aluminium production in India could reach 5 million tonnes in five to six years, an increase of around 25% from current levels. He told "The 4 million tonnes of metal production today potentially could increase to 5 million tonnes in about five to six years' time, based on projects that companies are currently working on in India. If, there is a new market participant that comes in. 5 million tonnes could increase to about 5.5-6 million tonnes of aluminium production.”Vedanta is raising annual capacity at Lanjigarh to 5 million tonnes of alumina from 2 million tonnes at a cost of about 46.81 billion rupee. Mukherjee said the output increase was expected to be achieved in 12-18 months' time and would reduce Vedanta's reliance on alumina imports. The company produced 1.9 million tonnes of aluminium in 2020.
