Place to visit in RED MUD POND

Located near the NALCO (National Aluminium Company) refinery in Damanjodi, Odisha, the Red Mud Pond plays a crucial role in the disposal and storage of red mud, a by-product of bauxite refining. Spread across vast acres, this engineered pond is designed to safely contain the highly alkaline residue generated during alumina production. NALCO’s Red Mud Pond stands as a testament to sustainable industrial waste management and environmental safety practices. It also highlights the company's commitment to eco-friendly operations and responsible mining. While access is restricted to ensure safety, the site represents a significant part of India’s aluminium manufacturing ecosystem.
