Vedanta may pay high logistic cost to haul bauxite from OMC mine	5.4.2018	Business Standard: News Now
Even as mining entity Vedanta looks at entering into a long-term contract with Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) to secure bauxite for its Lanjigarh (Kendrapara district) alumina refinery from the latter's newly opened Kodingamali mines, the company is worried about escalation in the cost of procuring the raw material.Unlike the Niyamgiri bauxite deposits, located close to the Lanjigarh plant, which was denied to the company after protests by locals and ecology activists, Kodingamali is 130 km away. There being no direct rail link with the mining site, the transportation cost, whether via an indirect rail route or by road, is estimated at Rs 1,000-1,200 a tonne. This could push the bauxite price by more than 100 per cent by the time it reaches the Lanjigarh plant."Logistics is an issue. In a competitive market, when companies like Nalco and Hindalco have refineries next to their captive mines, and have the advantage of carrying bauxite to their plants at negligible cost through a ...
