Vedanta Aluminium, India鈥檚 largest aluminium producer, in a significant boost to its logistics infrastructure, has successfully inaugurated a new railway line, further strengthening its supply chain capacity. The railway infrastructure expansion aligns with the commissioning of its 5 MTPA alumina refinery in Lanjigarh, Kalahandi district, Odisha. This will ensure seamless inbound and outbound movement of raw materials and commodities. Additionally, this is in line with the company鈥檚 goal of becoming Net Zero Carbon by 2050 or before, as the new railway line will reduce carbon emissions by 262 tonnes of carbon dioxide (tCO2) in a year. The newly commissioned 13.4 km railway line marks a major milestone in Vedanta Lanjigarh鈥檚 journey towards 100% rail co-efficiency for its logistics operations, ensuring all movement of goods is through rail. Additionally, six new loop lines have been introduced within the in-plant yard supported by an upgraded electronic signaling system. This development enhances the plant capacity to handle up to 25 million tonnes of raw materials and commodities annually, accommodating 20 rakes per day with improved efficiency. A standout advancement of this project is the transition of signaling systems from manual to digital by moving on from Relay Room Interlocking (RRI) to Electronic Interlocking (EI), signifying enhanced digitization in rail operations. This cutting-edge upgrade bolsters safety, enhances operational efficiency, and prolongs equipment lifespan. Speaking on this achievement, Sunil Gupta, Chief Operating Officer - Vedanta Aluminium said, The commissioning of a 13.4 km railway line at Vedanta Lanjigarh is a transformative step will streamline logistics, reduce turnaround time, and support our long-term production goals, while also reinforcing our commitment to digital innovation and safe operations.鈥� By integrating state-of-the-art railway infrastructure with advanced digital operations, Vedanta Aluminium continues to set new benchmarks in the aluminum industry. This expansion enhances supply chain efficiency and reinforces the company鈥檚 contribution towards India鈥檚 industrial growth and development.
