The concept of a 250,000 metric tons capacity anode grade petroleum coke calcining plant with 25 Megawatt (MW) cogeneration facility in the industrial zone of the Visakhapatnam Harbor, in Andhra Pradesh State, India meets the prima facie test of feasibility, as a technically, economically and financially justifiable project. The non-availability of calcined petroleum coke in sufficient quantities to meet the regional demand results in complex logistics of operations for the aluminum producers resulting in costly imports, high inventory costs and the almost total dependence on imports for a strategic raw material essential for the production of primary aluminum. The overall economical analysis and a favorable market investigation overwhelmingly justifies the implementation of the project. The establishment of this facility will not only satisfy the industrial development plans of India by incrementally increasing her export earning potential, but it will also lead to a well balanced supply/demand situation for a key raw material that is required by the aluminum producers in the Middle East, South East Asia, Australia, and India.
