Vedanta Aluminium, a key player in India’s metal and resource sector, has expanded the installed capacity of its Primary Foundry Alloy (PFA) unit by 120 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) at its Special Economic Zone (SEZ) facility in Jharsuguda, Odisha. This move aims to strengthen India’s position in the global automotive and engineering aluminium markets.

Primary Foundry Alloys are critical for manufacturing essential automotive components such as alloy wheels, engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings. Known for their superior castability, strength, and thermal conductivity, PFAs are tailored to meet stringent fuel efficiency and emissions standards.

Vedanta’s offerings comply with global benchmarks including BS-VI and CAFE norms, making them a preferred choice for global automakers.

Vedanta Aluminium CEO Rajiv Kumar said, “The expansion of our Primary Foundry Alloy capacity is a significant milestone in our journey to enhance value for our customers and position India as a global hub for advanced aluminium solutions, strengthening the Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission. It is a strategic move that strengthens our ability to serve evolving industry needs with unmatched quality and reliability”.
