A cohort of 40 trained women professionals will now steer the refinery’s nerve center, one of the most technologically complex and safety-critical areas of plant operations. Introduced on the occasion of International Women’s Day, this initiative marks a significant leap for women’s representation in core industrial and process control roles across India.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>The DCS is central to the refinery, integrating hundreds of data streams to ensure seamless control over production workflows. By placing women in this digital function, the company reinforces its commitment to building an inclusive industrial workforce. Their role includes real-time monitoring of process parameters, analyzing operational trends, assessing safety alarms, and making swift decisions to maintain stable, efficient, and safe refinery operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Commenting on the milestone, Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, stated, “At Vedanta Aluminium, empowering women to lead high-skill industrial roles is not an initiative; it is our direction as a company. As more women operate command centers, smelters, locomotives, and safety systems, we are shaping a manufacturing ecosystem where gender is no barrier to excellence. Our long-term ambition of significantly increasing women’s participation reflects our belief that women will power the next leap of industrial growth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>This development forms part of a broader transformation led by Vedanta Aluminium to expand opportunities for women in high-skill industrial roles. Anjanee Kumari, one of the team members, DCS, said, “Working in the command center gives me the confidence that women can play a central role in manufacturing. I hope our team inspires many more young women to pursue careers in engineering and operations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Over the past few years, the company has commissioned India’s first fully women-operated potline and deployed more than 100 women across critical smelting and production functions. It has also introduced the country’s first all-women locomotive engine crew within its aluminum operations, setting new benchmarks for inclusion in nontraditional roles. Additionally, Vedanta Aluminium became the first company in Odisha to introduce women in night shifts. Strengthening its focus on safety and emergency readiness, the company has deployed Agnivahini, an all-women firefighting and emergency response unit that has trained over 100 women as frontline safety responders, enhancing preparedness and reinforcing a strong safety culture across its operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>More recently, the company established an all-women thermal power operations team to manage a 135 MW power unit, strengthening its leadership in gender-forward industrial practices. With a growing number of women now contributing across quality laboratories, digitalization functions, and mining engineering roles, women’s representation in high-technology, high-responsibility roles is on the rise across India’s manufacturing sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Women currently constitute 21 percent of Vedanta Aluminium’s workforce, a figure the company plans to raise to 35 percent and then 50 percent in the coming years. To support this goal, more than 50 percent of its entry-level hiring now comprises women, ensuring greater representation in future technical and leadership positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>As India’s manufacturing and metals sectors expand to support a more technology-driven and resource-intensive future, Vedanta Aluminium’s initiatives aim to ensure that women are not only part of this transformation but are playing a leading role in shaping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>For more information: \u003Cstrong>www.vedantaaluminium.com\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.magicwandmedia.in\u002Fposts\u002FMarch2026\u002F0qFoQNimu5OKXdNukLzc.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.magicwandmedia.in\u002Fsocial\u002Fhorizontal\u002Fposts\u002FMarch2026\u002F0qFoQNimu5OKXdNukLzc.jpg","2026-03-15T16:06:31+05:30","MWM Desk","News",0,"Vedanta Aluminium has deployed a 40-member all-women team to lead the Distributed Control System at its Lanjigarh refinery.\nThe initiative aims to increase women’s representation in high-skill, safety-critical industrial roles across India's manufacturing sector.\nThe company plans to raise its current 21 percent female workforce participation to 50 percent through targeted hiring and development.","In a historic move for India's manufacturing sector, Vedanta Aluminium has empowered an all-women team to manage the Distributed Control System (DCS) at its Lanjigarh alumina refinery.
