The town's economy revolves around NALCO's Mines & Refinery Complex, which includes a fully mechanized opencast bauxite mine with a capacity of 68.25 tonnes per annum (TPA) on the resource-rich Panchpatmali hills and an adjacent alumina with a normative capacity of 21 TPA, producing metallurgical-grade alumina for domestic aluminum and export markets. Established in the 1980s as part of India's initiatives to harness reserves in the region, Damanjodi's development has transformed the local landscape, with the characteristic of the area owing to high content from deposits. Beyond industry, the town serves as a gateway to Koraput's natural attractions, including the nearby Kolab Reservoir formed by the Upper Kolab , which supports generation and while offering scenic views amid surrounding hills and forests. Damanjodi also features cultural and religious sites such as the Jagannath Temple and Hanuman Temple, which draw local devotees and visitors, contributing to its role as a blend of industrial progress and tribal heritage in one of Odisha's most picturesque districts. The area's , including endemic flora and fauna in the adjacent hills, underscores ongoing efforts in sustainable mining practices by NALCO, though the operations have raised environmental concerns regarding extraction impacts on local ecosystems.

History

Founding and NALCO Establishment

The Limited (NALCO) was incorporated on January 7, 1981, as a public sector undertaking under the , specifically to harness the vast reserves in for alumina and production. This establishment marked a significant step in India's efforts to develop its industry through integrated mining and refining operations, leveraging the state's rich mineral resources to support national industrial growth. The site for NALCO's mining and refining complex was selected in Damanjodi, located in the of , primarily due to its strategic proximity to the extensive deposits in the Panchpatmali hills. These hills, rising to elevations between 1,154 and 1,366 meters above mean , contain substantial reserves that span the plateau, making Damanjodi an ideal location for a pit-head alumina refinery to minimize transportation costs and logistical challenges. Bauxite mining operations at the Panchpatmali mines commenced in November 1985, with a fully mechanized open-cast system designed to supply raw material directly to the adjacent facilities. The alumina in Damanjodi was commissioned in September 1986, enabling the initial production of alumina from the mined bauxite through processes like the Bayer method, which laid the foundation for NALCO's downstream activities. From its inception, Damanjodi was envisioned and planned as a dedicated residential to house NALCO's workforce, comprising engineers, technicians, and laborers recruited from various regions across to support the remote industrial operations. This was integral to attracting and retaining skilled personnel in the tribal-dominated region, fostering a self-contained community around the industrial core.

Township Development

The development of Damanjodi as a township began following the laying of the foundation stone for the Limited (NALCO) project by then-Prime Minister on March 29, 1981, marking the start of to support the emerging industrial complex. Initial efforts from 1981 to 1985 focused on building residential quarters, roads, and basic amenities such as and to accommodate migrant workers arriving for the bauxite mining and alumina refinery projects. These structures were essential to house the influx of skilled and unskilled labor required for site preparation and early operations, transforming the area from a remote forested settlement into a functional . By the late , as NALCO's operations ramped up with the commissioning of the mines in November 1985 and the alumina in September 1986, with initial commercial production beginning in 1987, the township saw further consolidation of housing and connectivity infrastructure. The 's expansion and ongoing operations triggered a significant influx driven by job opportunities in , , and related activities, swelling the resident count and necessitating expanded residential blocks. This period also involved the addition of community facilities like markets and recreational spaces to foster a stable living environment for employees and their families. Early challenges in township development included the displacement of local tribal communities to acquire approximately 2,741 hectares of land for the plant, , and residential areas, affecting around 597 families (including 254 tribal families) and up to 17,678 individuals across 26 villages. Rehabilitation efforts were initiated, with reports highlighting inadequate compensation and relocation support, leading to social tensions; however, NALCO later provided to 599 out of 600 land-displaced persons as of 2022. was integrated from the outset, with provisions for pollution control measures around the to mitigate impacts from industrial activities, though downstream and air quality issues persisted. The 's growth was closely tied to the history at nearby Panchpatmali hills.
