Bhubaneshwar, Sep 21: National Aluminum Co (Nalco) is planning to set up a nuclear power plant and moving into other metals, to meet the economic meltdown.
Nalco chairman and managing director C R Pradhan said that as part of its plans, the firm has begun talks with Nuclear Power Corp of India Ltd (NPCIL) to set up a nuclear power plant of 1,000 MW capacity.
"We are in talks with NPCIL. We have plans to become an independent power producer," Pradhan said.
Nalco also aspires to be a global player in metal business and is in the process of diversifying into other metals.
