Previous Year Question

INDAL — Hirakud is correctly matched. The aluminium smelter at Hirakud, Odisha, was established by INDAL in 1959. Following the merger of INDAL with Hindalco, the facility became part of Hindalco.

BALCO — Korba is also correctly matched. BALCO's major aluminium complex is located at Korba in Chhattisgarh.

HINDALCO — Renukoot is correctly matched. The Renukoot plant in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh was Hindalco's first major aluminium facility and was commissioned in 1962.

However, MALCO — Chennai is incorrectly matched. The integrated aluminium plant of Madras Aluminium Company Limited was located at Mettur in Tamil Nadu, not Chennai. Historical company records also identify it as the MALCO Mettur aluminium smelter.
