While around Rs 22,000 crore will be spent on expansion of the company's smelter plant at Angul district and establishment of a 1400 megawatt (MW) captive power plant (CPP). The expansion project is currently at the land acquisition stage.

Nalco's bauxite production capacity will increase from 7.3 mtpa to 10.5 mtpa after operationalization of Patangi mines.
