Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], March 31: Odisha is a state of many triumphs. Its mineral-rich reserves have transformed the state into a key manufacturing hub in India with one of the most vibrant industrial ecosystems. This transformation is being driven by the state’s progressive business environment, abundant resources and skilled human capital. This rise is driven in significant part through the state’s metals and mining sector.

“Our journey in Odisha has been nothing short of transformative. From breaking barriers with the country’s first women-operated potline to fostering sustainable growth through our skill development and environmental initiatives, we are deeply committed to shaping Odisha’s bright future,” commented Vedanta Aluminium Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mr Sunil Gupta.

He added, “Our latest investment of ₹1 lakh crore is a testament to our enduring belief in the state’s potential to lead India’s industrial revolution.”

Aluminium, widely hailed as the ‘Metal’ of the Future’, has been identified as a critical metal for emerging green technologies, which will power India’s Net Zero Carbon journey. According to the Indian Minerals Yearbook 2021, the state accounts for 41% of the bauxite (aluminium ore) resources in the country, making it an essential hub for the global aluminium value chain. As India grows to become a $5 trillion economy, aluminium demand will rise significantly. Odisha, therefore, stands well-poised to meet this opportunity.

Thus, Vedanta’s confidence in Odisha’s immense potential is evident through its extensive operations and status as the largest investor in the state with a combined investment of ₹1,00,000 crores that stands as Vedanta’s largest investment globally.

While Vedanta’s 1.8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) smelter facility in Jharsuguda is world’s largest and stands as the sole Indian smelter in the prestigious global one (01) million tonne club, the company also operates a world-class 3.5 MTPA alumina refinery at Lanjigarh in Kalahandi district of Odisha.

Hence, more than 20,000 MSMEs have grown up around the company’s operations fostered by its expansive production and supplier networks.

Besides, Vedanta has also commenced mining operations in several districts of Odisha, while each of which has the potential to create up to 10,000 livelihood opportunities both directly and indirectly. Together, they have been widely hailed for bringing remote regions into the socio-economic mainstream as well as contributing nearly four per cent (4%) to Odisha’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).

At the Utkarsh Odisha Global Investment Conclave, Vedanta Aluminium announced ₹1 lakh crore investment aimed at accelerating Odisha’s industrial growth. The MoU, signed in presence of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal, marks the development of a 3 MTPA aluminium plant and a state-of-the-art aluminium park at Jharsuguda.

Spanning over 253 acres, the park will attract over 100 SMEs and MSMEs generating two (02) lakh employment opportunities and creating additional value worth ₹4,500 crores for Odisha.

Positioning Odisha as a global hub for aluminium manufacturing, this transformative project will also bolster downstream industries in automotive, power, construction and logistics.

Vedanta Aluminium’s acquisition of the Kalinga Lancers, a premier hockey team based in Bhubaneswar, further underscores its commitment to Odisha’s sporting heritage. This initiative aligns with Vedanta’s broader mission to foster youth talent, community engagement, and sports infrastructure in Odisha

The company’s efforts focus on key areas such as livelihood, education, healthcare, infrastructure, grassroots sports, and cultural development. A cornerstone of its work in rural development is the establishment of 531 Nand Ghars—modernized Anganwadi centers dedicated to the well-being of women and children. In the healthcare domain, the Vedanta Hospital in Lanjigarh provides free medical services to more than 67,000 people annually.

A unique feature of Vedanta Aluminium is its Jharsuguda smelter plant with fully women-operated potline – a first for India’s aluminium industry. The company is also the first in Odisha to deploy women in night shift operations through its project ‘Shree Shakti’ initiative.

Conceptualized and guided by Vedanta Group Chairman Mr Anil Agarwal, ‘Project Panchhi’ provides financial support for higher education to young women, who after completing educational qualifications are offered employment opportunities within Vedanta’s core operations.

Through ‘Project Panchhi’, Vedanta is not only dismantling gender stereotypes in the traditionally male-dominated metals and mining sector, but also aiming to achieve thirty per cent (30%) women in its workforce by FY2030, a benchmark for inclusivity and operational excellence.

New Delhi [India], March 29: The Indian toy industry is a vibrant and rapidly growing business, but it is also one of the most regulated industries, particularly in terms of safety and quality. This requires overcoming challenges in terms of innovation, hard work, and unrelenting commitment to compliance. For Kitoy, a pioneer in foam toys, greatness in product safety and educational content has been a driving interest.

The Entrepreneurial Journey

Kitoy’s founding is a story of innovation and determination. Founders Kartik Jain and Shishir Pawar were brainstorming the concept as they prepared for their master’s at SP Jain in Dubai. They pitched the concept of fusing toy-making and sustainability—recycling foam to produce eco-friendly, safe, and innovative toys—during a startup competition.

The highly supportive reaction to their concept gave them the energy to implement it. Kitoy was launched in less than one year, and it filled an enormous void in the Indian toy market. The co-founders felt the paucity of good quality, non-toxic, and educational foam toys and their desire to make a difference in the way children play resulted in a business that embodies safety, learning, and sustainability.

Adherence to Safety and Quality

BIS certification placed stringent requirements on Indian toy makers. Kitoy stepped up to the challenge by maintaining the highest possible safety standards in all its EVA foam toys. The firm strictly adhered to testing guidelines, collaborated with certified testing centers, and continued to enhance manufacturing processes to accommodate evolving regulations. Through the usage of non-toxic materials and rigorous quality audits, Kitoy has gained the trust of parents, educators, and retailers.

Innovative and Interactive Products

The key to Kitoy’s success is its dedication to creating toys that are learning and play tools. Its best-known product is the “Weigh N Play” math balance game, a tool that educates children on addition and subtraction using interactive play. This revolutionary toy has been well-loved by parents and teachers alike for combining learning and play in a perfect way.

Aside from “Weigh N Play,” Kitoy has launched a series of foam toys, such as sword and shield sets, playmats, and India world map puzzles. The items have fascinated parents and children alike for their safety, durability, and interactivity. Emphasizing creativity and mental growth, Kitoy keeps transforming play into an engaging learning experience.

A Sustainable Vision

Environmental sustainability is the business philosophy of Kitoy. While EVA foam is recyclable by nature, Kitoy has gone one step further by reducing waste during production and recycling the leftover material into new toys. This green approach is a reaction to the increasing demand for green toys and is an additional guarantee of ethical production by the company.

The toy industry is fast shifting towards STEM and sensory toys, and Kitoy is looking at the potential of foam toys in the emerging market. With the focus on sustainability, the company is looking to use more environmentally friendly materials and develop robust recycling programs in the future.
Vision for the Future

Within the next five years, Kitoy hopes to be a household name in India, and its name synonymous with learning, safety, and creative foam toys. Kitoy hopes to also expand its product lines, increase its market share, and continue to be the market leader in terms of safety and sustainability. “We want Kitoy to be the first name that comes to parents’ minds when they are looking for toys that not only entertain but also learn and grow,” states the founder.

Guidelines for Prospective Toy Manufacturers

For anyone interested in entering the toy industry, Kitoy’s tale is a lesson. The entrepreneur’s own advice is simple but powerful: prioritize innovation. Rather than imitating other individuals’ products, young entrepreneurs must attempt to produce toys that are safer, more educational, and more innovative.

“Compete, but do something worthwhile,” he exhorts. Emphasizing quality, regulatory compliance, and innovation, creative toy makers can carve out a niche for themselves in this competitive but rewarding business.

Conclusion

Kitoy’s story is an illustration of how kids’ play, kids’ learning, and sustainability can be blended together to create meaningful products for children. From shattering regulatory hurdles to spearheading green practices, the organization has set a benchmark in the Indian toy industry. With its firm focus on safety, learning, and sustainability, Kitoy is shaping a future where toys are not only a tool for play, but for learning, growth, and environmental care.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 27: ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has commissioned its first scrap processing facility at its Khopoli manufacturing site in Maharashtra, with an annual capacity of 120 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA). The Khopoli unit is the first of four scrap processing units being developed by AM/NS India nationally as part of a ₹350 crore investment programme to meet the growing demand for high-quality scrap for its steel production and strengthen domestic scrap supply chains.

India’s scrap supply chain is currently highly fragmented, with materials passing through multiple intermediaries – from local scrap collectors to scrapyards – before reaching the consumption points. This complex process inflates costs, diminishes material quality and adds little value across the chain. By processing scrap at its own facilities, AM/NS India is enhancing material quality and yield while reducing conversion and logistics costs, all while formalising the scrap industry.

The commissioning of the Khopoli unit and the larger rollout follows a successful pilot project to process scrap at scale, important to meet the rising demand for recycled steels across AM/NS India’s wide customer base, including automotive manufacturers and ship fleet operators.

Government initiatives such as the Vehicle Scrappage Policy (2021), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) norms – set to take effect in April 2025 – and the Green Steel Taxonomy are also expected to boost domestic scrap availability. AM/NS India’s growing scrap processing capacity will support national efforts to strengthen domestic scrap availability and supply chain efficiency.

Akshaya Gujral, Executive Director of Downstream Operations at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), said, “India aims to increase the share of scrap metal in steel production to 50% by 2047. The steel sector has an important role in developing the infrastructure and ecosystem to support this ambition. Our Khopoli unit, and others that will come on stream this year, will support the formalisation of the domestic scrap industry, service growing customer demand for recycled steels, and contribute to India’s sustainability goals.”

As part of a decarbonisation roadmap set out in its inaugural Climate Action Report in 2024, AM/NS India aims to increase scrap mix in steelmaking capacity to over 10% by 2030 (from 3-5% today). The company is strategically integrating high-quality scrap into its production, with 65% of its existing steelmaking capacity operating on the gas-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) – Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route, a process particularly well-suited for utilising processed scrap.
