Odisha Industry Statistics

Odisha’s aluminium and steel stack together at scale, from 3.85 million tonnes per annum of aluminium capacity to a 28 million tonnes per annum steel capacity, all powered by 14,000 MW of generation and a heavy captive share. What makes the page worth your time is the sharper-than-you’d expect materials logic behind it, where 50% of India’s primary aluminium at 3.5 MT meets Odisha’s bauxite to alumina conversion of 3 to 2 and a mining ecosystem that turned mineral exports worth Rs 45,000 crore through Paradip port.

Odisha is already shaping India’s metal and minerals map with 3.85 million tonnes per annum of aluminium capacity and a primary aluminium share of 50 percent at 3.5 MT in 2023. But the supply chain tension is the real headline, where bauxite to alumina conversion runs at 3:2 while ferroalloys, steelmaking, and power scale up in parallel. From UAIL’s Utkal refinery throughput to 14,000 MW power capacity and pellet production in Bolangir, these figures snap together into an industry picture worth checking line by line.
