Immediate and time-sensitive actions are urged by the aluminium industry experts and policymakers to explore Odisha’s bauxite reserves. This step is crucial for bolstering India’s aluminium value chain by unlocking mines, which significantly contribute to the country’s self-reliance goals under the Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat initiatives, by securing a stable and sustainable supply of raw materials for the country's domestic aluminium industry.
AIDENT and FIJEEHA co-hosted a national webinar where industry leaders came together and expressed the urgent need to ramp up the mine operationalisation alongside fostering growth in downstream industries, as well as push the policy reforms poised to strengthen Odisha’s role in India’s aluminium value chain.
