INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

The recovery in the global aluminum industry gained momentum during the year as the fiscal and monetary stimulus package of the Government as well the inventory cycle gave a boost to industrial production. The overall global aluminum demand is expected to rise by 7.7% in 2010 and by 9 % in 2011.

 

The Indian Economy has shown greater resilience to the global recession as compared to many other economies of the world. India is poised to be a significant constituent of the world Aluminum production and is expected to contribute 22% of the global growth in Aluminum by 2015 with its competitive labour costs, proximity to fast growing end markets and substantial unexplored bauxite and coal reserves which are estimated at 2.6 billion tonnes and 250 billion tonnes respectively. With the picking up of the global economic activity in 2010 and 2011 together with ongoing thrust on infrastructure development by the Government, Aluminum consumption in India is expected to grow to 1.5 million tonnes and 1.56 million tonnes in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In the long term Indian Aluminum demand is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7.6% which will result in Indian demand reaching 3.4 million tones by 2020 making India the world’s third largest Aluminuim consumer.

 

The enhanced Aluminum production capacities being set up by the Company are expected to create tremendous opportunities for the Company considering the expected increase in demand especially in India.

History:

 

Vedanta Aluminium Ltd (VAL) is a premier manufacturer of metallurgical grade alumina and other high-quality aluminium products, which are used by a wide gamut of industries. The company traces its origins to the early years of the current decade when Vedanta Resources, the parent company, was increasingly diversifying its operations and expanding its presence in the domestic and global aluminium market. Driven by the endeavour to establish a subsidiary that would have a significant presence in the domestic bauxite mining and exploration segment, Sterlite Transmission Ltd was incorporated on 18th January 2001. Subsequently, the name of the company was changed to Vedanta Alumina Ltd on 20th January, 2004 in an effort to rebrand the firm in consonance with its operations and then renamed as Vedanta Aluminium Ltd on 25th August, 2007. This heralded the beginning of the firm’s journey towards operational excellence based on technological advancements coupled with a keen focus on sustainable development.


In 2007, VAL began the progressive commissioning of its 1 mtpa state-of-the-art greenfield alumina refinery project and an associated 75 MW captive power plant at Lanjigarh, Orissa. Subsequently, the firm charted out plans for a greenfield 500,000 tpa aluminium smelter and a 1215 MW captive power plant at Jharsuguda, Orissa; the first phase of the aluminium smelter project was commissioned in June 2008.


The greenfield aluminium refinery at Lanjigarh became operational in 2008 and has carved out a niche for itself as one of the world’s premier alumina refining complex. In January 2009, VAL was awarded the ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001 – 2007 certificates for adopting global standards in quality, environment and health and safety systems. The certificates were awarded after a five-day audit by British Standard Institute (BSI) covering quality, environment and safety standards.


Apart from earning accolades for its superior products, VAL’s sustainable development initiatives have also received widespread recognition. The company strives to facilitate the socio-economic transformation of local communities around Jharsuguda and Lanjigarh through concerted efforts in the spheres of health, education, livelihood, infrastructure and environment.


VAL’s development initiatives have touched the lives of local communities through active partnerships with various stakeholders. The firm remains committed to the development of rural areas in India and facilitate participation of local communities in the socio-economic development process.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Vedanta Aluminium Ltd. (VAL), a subsidiary of global mining behemoth Vedanta Resources PLC, leverages its strategic location and cutting edge technology to deliver world class products. Operative in Orissa, which has huge bauxite and coal reserves, VAL leverages its accessibility to cheap, skilled labour and vast captive mineral resources to work out a favourably low production cost structure. This is in line with Vedanta Resources’ objective of claiming a position in the top decile of global low cost aluminium producers. VAL’s diversified and de-risked project development strategy and its fully integrated operational structure, which includes mining to smelting/refining and power generation, equips it to meet the growing global and domestic demand for aluminium.

 

Global and Domestic Markets

 

VAL is positioned to make a significant contribution to global aluminium demand, which is expected to increase substantially over the next few years. The rapid growth of the emerging nations led by China and India and the concomitant growth in aluminium demand in these countries is expected to benefit VAL. Aluminium consumption in BRIC nations alone is expected to increase at a CAGR of 9% over the period 2007-2020 while global aluminium consumption is anticipated to more than double from 38 mt to 78.5 mt over the same period. India’s demand for aluminium is expected to touch 2.5 mt by 2015. On the other hand, global aluminium supply is driven by China where total capacity is expected to reach 34.8 mtpa by 2010. However, global alumina supply would witness periods of surplus and shortages with the days of consumption remaining between 45-60 days.

India is positioned to become one of the world’s largest producers of aluminium, with the 6th largest reserves of bauxite globally of 2.3 billion tonnes and the 4th largest reserves of coal worldwide of over 250 billion tonnes. The domestic market is currently growing at a robust pace, which augurs well for VAL. The firm would benefit from the continued market expansion, which would help it tap a wide range of new business segments. Increasing investments in the Indian

 

Power sector coupled with rising consumerism have driven growth in industries such as packaging and consumer durables. VAL, with its superior product portfolio, is competitively positioned to take a lead in catering to these industries. Proximity to high growth markets of Asia and Middle East, and the co-location of abundant bauxite and coal are added advantages for the firm.

 

The Orissa Opportunity

 

VAL is located in the heart Orissa, which has abundant mineral reserves including bauxite and coal. The state has as much as 1.7 billion tonnes of the country’s total 3.3 billion tonnes of bauxite reserves. The optimal location of VAL affords an easy reach to recoverable bauxite deposits of over 900 mt within 60 km radius of Lanjigarh, the location of its greenfield alumina refinery. The bauxite variety here boasts of low reactive silica content, adaptability to low temperature and low pressure digestion, which entail low cost and high quality alumina production. VAL is further aided by availability of ample reserves of coal (62 billion tonnes) and low cost of power generation.

 

VAL- Uniquely Positioned to Deliver

 

With a highly qualified and technologically advanced research and development wing, VAL has acquired comprehensive expertise at producing high quality products. Supported by state of art facilities, competitive intelligence and resource utilisation, VAL takes pride in an unparalleled track record of project delivery and implementation. The firm benefits from teams with proven project handling expertise which hugely reduces risk of execution. This ensures strict adherence to international time and cost benchmarks, which raises VAL above competitors. The experienced in-house project management teams have implemented the 1.0 mtpa Lanjigarh alumina refinery and the associated 75 MW captive power plant. They are currently in the process of completing the first phase of the 0.5 mtpa greenfield aluminium smelter project and 1215 MW captive power plant at Jharsuguda.

 

Projects and Products

 

VAL is making huge investments to expand capacities of existing plants in order to address growing industry demand. Expansion of the Jharsuguda aluminium smelter plays a pivotal role in VAL’s growth strategy. The firm is having plans to start construction of a new 1.1 mtpa aluminium smelter at Jharsuguda which would expand smelting capacity from 0.5 mtpa to 1.6 mtpa in near future. For this, VAL has channelised funds towards the commissioning of additional units of power.


The proposed increase in alumina production at Lanjigarh will boost output from 1.0 mtpa to 5 mtpa shortly. The increase in alumina production capacity will be achieved by debottlenecking existing capacity and building three new production streams of 1 MTPA each.


Responding to the global demand pattern for aluminium, VAL has recently diversified its product portfolio to cater to a wide range of industrial sectors. VAL specialised in manufacturing aluminium ingots until 2008-09. The firm has now extended
