Vedanta maintains FY aluminium production guidance at 1.2m tonnes

Vedanta Resources said it had maintained aluminium production guidance at 1.2m tonnes a year despite a power shut down at one of its plants in August.

The commissioning of pots at the first line of the company's Jharsuguda-II aluminium smelter was completed in end-July 2016, it added.

"The first line was impacted by a pot failure incident due to a power shut down in early August, post which 168 pots were taken out of production. The impacted pots are currently being repaired and relined," the firm said.
