Hindalco Industries, a subsidiary of the Aditya Birla Group, operates a massive 2.5 MTPA aluminium refinery in Tikri, Rayagada, Odisha. To ensure this energy-intensive production facility operates without interruption, Hofincons manages the critical 90MW Captive Power Plant (CPP) that fuels its operations.

The Challenge: Managing Specialized Power Infrastructure

The 90MW Cogen thermal power plant, commissioned in 2013, utilizes specialized technology provided by HTC & HUXI (China). Maintaining this infrastructure requires more than standard oversight; it demands a deep understanding of specific foreign technologies and the ability to manage high-pressure thermal assets.

• Asset Complexity: The facility relies on the flawless operation of Pulverized Fuel (PF) Boilers and complex safety structures, where any downtime translates immediately to production losses in the refinery.
  
  
• Operational Scope: Hindalco needed a true “Implementation Partner”, not just a contractor, capable of taking full ownership of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) to drive availability and safety standards simultaneously.

The Hofincons Solution: Integrated O&M and Efficiency Drive

Hofincons deployed a comprehensive O&M strategy focused on technical precision and continuous improvement. We act as the end-to-end implementation partner, ensuring the power plant operates at peak efficiency to support the aluminium refinery.

• 225+ Specialist Personnel Deployed: We established a robust resident team of over 225 experts to handle 24/7 maintenance and operations, ensuring round-the-clock readiness.
  
  
• Specialized Technical Care: Our team executes the specialized upkeep of the PF Boiler and manages all safety and maintenance structures, ensuring strict adherence to global safety protocols.
