Bhadrak, October 24, 2024 (TBB Bureau): As Cyclone ‘Dana’ approaches the Odisha coast, Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd. (FACOR) has rolled out an extensive preparedness plan to safeguard the community and livestock in and around its facilities. This proactive initiative aims to mitigate the effects of the impending cyclone, reflecting FACOR’s commitment to both community well-being and animal welfare.
One of the standout features of FACOR’s preparedness plan is its focus on providing essential fodder support for stray cattle.

By addressing both animal and human welfare, FACOR’s preparedness plan underscores its integrated approach to disaster management. It highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to build resilience in the community while providing timely and necessary support during natural calamities.
FACOR, one of India’s leading producers of charge chrome, was established in 1983 and became part of the Vedanta Group in September 2020.
