The Doppelmayr Group received a contract for the construction of a RopeCon® system for the Aditya Alumina Refinery project, located in Kansariguda, Odisha.
The RopeCon, the first of its kind in India, will start to transport bauxite in 3Q27 and supports Hindalco’s commitment to implement eco-friendly and sustainable solutions.
The Indian company Hindalco Industries Ltd (Hindalco), has selected a RopeCon system to be implemented at Aditya Alumina Refinery in Kansariguda, Odisha, India. This innovative aerial conveying system will cover a distance of approximately 2300 m and a drop in elevation of 241 m across challenging and agricultural terrain by means of using just four towers. The RopeCon system will transport 1500 tph of bauxite and it will also be capable in the future of transporting tailings in the opposite direction.
The RopeCon, the first of its kind in India, will have a minimal footprint on the ground by flying over the landscape while respecting sufficient ground clearance at any time. In operation it will regenerate up to 907 kWh, which is confirming HINDALCO’s commitment for implementing environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.
The RopeCon commissioning is planned for 3Q27.
