bauxite to run the plant. Within last eight days, the production rate has been
decreased to 30-35 per cent, the sources said.

in a letter to the authorities of the WESCO Company, requested for supplying of
8-10 mega watt electricity to the company at Lanjigarh aluminum plant as its
captive power plant will be closed temporarily for few days on the sidelines of
the closing of its aluminum refinery due to shortage of bauxite.
The production capacity of the
plant of the Vedanta Group is one million tonne per year.
To continue the production,
10,000 tonne bauxite is needed. As the company got problem to find the bauxite
for the plant, it reported to the Labour Department of the State Government
about the problem on September 6 and informed that the company would close the
plant temporarily from December 5.

tonne bauxite from the Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation to run the
plant, but that raw material would probably reach here in the plant in October last
week, so that they would close the plant for some days till the bauxite is
coming, company sources said.
