Kutshanje, i-NALCO ibhengeze ukuba isayine ngempumelelo isivumelwano sokumbiwa kwemigodi ixesha elide kunye norhulumente welizwe lase-Orissa, ngokuqeshisa ngokusemthethweni iihektare ezingama-697.979 zemigodi ye-bauxite esePottangi Tehsil, kwiSithili saseKoraput. Lo mlinganiso ubalulekileyo awuqinisekisi nje kuphela ukhuseleko lonikezelo lwemathiriyeli ekrwada kwiindawo zokucoca ezikhoyo ze-NALCO, kodwa ukwabonelela ngenkxaso eqinileyo kwisicwangciso sayo sokwandisa kwixesha elizayo.

 
Ngokwemigaqo yengqeshiso, lo mgodi we-bauxite unamandla amakhulu ophuhliso. Umthamo wayo wonyaka wemveliso uphezulu ukuya kutsho kwi-3.5 yezigidi zeetoni, kunye noovimba abaqikelelwa ukuba bafikelela kwi-111 yezigidi zeetoni, kwaye ubomi obuqikelelweyo bomgodi yiminyaka engama-32. Oku kuthetha ukuba kumashumi eminyaka ezayo, i-NALCO iya kukwazi ngokuqhubekayo kwaye ngokuzinzileyo ifumane izixhobo ze-bauxite ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zayo zemveliso.

 
Emva kokufumana amaphepha-mvume asemthethweni ayimfuneko, umgodi kulindeleke ukuba uqalise ukusebenza kungekudala. I-bauxite yombiwa iza kuthuthwa ngomhlaba isiwe kwindawo yokuhluza ye-NALCO e-Damanjodi ukuze iqhubeke nokusebenza kwiimveliso ze-aluminiyam ezikumgangatho ophezulu. Ukulungiswa kwale nkqubo kuya kuphucula ngakumbi ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso, ukunciphisa iindleko, kunye nokufumana inzuzo eninzi ye-NALCO kukhuphiswano lwe-aluminium.

 
Uqeshiso lwexesha elide lokumbiwa kwemigodi olusayinwe kunye norhulumente wase-Orissa lunempembelelo enkulu kwi-NALCO. Okokuqala, iqinisekisa ukuzinza konikezelo lwezixhobo zenkampani, okwenza i-NALCO igxile ngakumbi kumashishini angundoqo afana nophando lwemveliso kunye nophuhliso kunye nokwandiswa kweemarike. Okwesibini, ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano kunika indawo ebanzi kuphuhliso lwexesha elizayo lwe-NALCO. Ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kwemfuno ye-aluminiyam yehlabathi, ukuba nokubonelela okuzinzile kunye nomgangatho ophezulu we-bauxite kuya kuba yinto ebalulekileyo kumashishini oshishino lwe-aluminium ukukhuphisana. Ngesi sivumelwano sokuqeshisa, i-NALCO iya kukwazi ukuhlangabezana ngcono neemfuno zemarike, ukwandisa isabelo semarike, kunye nokufezekisa uphuhliso oluzinzileyo.

 
Ukongeza, lo mlinganiselo uya kuba nefuthe elihle kuqoqosho lwengingqi. Iinkqubo zemigodi nezothutho ziza kudala inani elikhulu lamathuba engqesho kwaye zikhuthaze impumelelo yezoqoqosho nophuhliso loluntu lwasekuhlaleni. Ngeli xesha, ngolwandiso oluqhubekayo lweshishini le-NALCO, iya kuqhuba uphuhliso lwamatyathanga emizi-mveliso anxulumeneyo kwaye yenze inkqubo egqibeleleyo ye-aluminiyam yoshishino lwendalo.
