en.Wedoany.com Reported - Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) recently announced plans to increase the annual production capacity of its Kodingamali bauxite mine in Odisha from the current 3.6 million tons to 6 million tons. This bauxite capacity expansion plan is driven by growing industrial demand and the state's push to strengthen its mineral economy.

The bauxite mine, spanning the Koraput and Rayagada districts, has been in operation for eight years, primarily supplying bauxite to various industrial enterprises within Odisha. The capacity expansion project is expected to support regional development through improvements in infrastructure, job creation, and increased economic activity in surrounding areas.

According to local reports, over 10,000 residents from neighboring villages have formally submitted written support, highlighting the project's contribution to local livelihoods and development initiatives. These residents, hailing from multiple villages, stated that the bauxite mine expansion project will bring employment opportunities and infrastructure improvements.

Upon completion of the bauxite capacity expansion plan, the annual production capacity will be increased to 6 million tons to meet the continuously expanding industrial demand. As the state's mining enterprise, Odisha Mining Corporation's bauxite supply capacity will be further enhanced.
