About
Description
Balco India, officially known as Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO), is a renowned brand that has been closely associated with the growth of the Indian industrial sector since its establishment in 1965 as the first Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) in India. In 2001, the Government of India divested 51% of BALCO shares to Sterlite Industries Limited, a subsidiary of Vedanta Limited. With a commitment to superior quality and craftsmanship, Balco has played a pivotal role in introducing aluminium as a viable alternative to other metals like steel in construction and copper in the power transmission industry.
Its major operations are based in Korba, Chhattisgarh, and the company's high-grade bauxite mines are located in Kawardha and Mainpat. Balco boasts a smelter capacity of 345 KTPA and utilizes modern prebake technology based on the Soderberg process. The company also has a smelter plant with a capacity of 245 KTPA that was established in 2004.
To support its operations, Balco has captive power plants with a total capacity of 810 MW. Additionally, the brand's finishing lines are capable of producing high-quality ingots, wire rods, busbars, and rolled products. Balco India takes pride in being the first integrated aluminium industry in India and has achieved several notable milestones in the industry.
It was the first to have a captive power plant, venture into +300 kA prebake pots, produce alloy rods for power transmission, roll material for aerospace, and produce the largest billet of diameter-800 mm, length-6 mt. Furthermore, Balco India is also known for setting up the widest hot rolling mill. With its rich history and commitment to excellence, Balco India continues to thrive as a prominent player in the aluminium industry
