MAY 202319Electrical Power transmission, construction, machinery, and equipment continue to benefit from aluminium. As India continues its industrialization process, aluminium has emerged as a critical strategic metalaluminium rolled products as well as extruded aluminium products. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped to produce high-quality goods and are outfitted with furnaces, casters, and captive foundries that can produce items with thicknesses ranging from 0.009 mm to 5.00 mm. According to Volza, a company that collects data on worldwide export-import commerce, India is a world leader in the production of rolled aluminium sheets, which are widely used in the manufacturing of food, packaging, printing, trains, automobiles, and aeroplanes.Volza says India exports the majority of its aluminium sheets to the United States, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia, and as of October 2021, 194 suppliers were responsible for 1,209 shipments. About extrusions, Volza says that there were over 27,000 export shipments of aluminium extrusion from India, exported by 324 Suppliers. Most of India's aluminium extrusion is exported to Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With 27064 shipments, India is a top exporter of aluminium extrusion.In conclusion, there are a few drawbacks, including the lack of a policy for the downstream aluminium segment that can unleash India's full potential in becoming a leader in the global supply of downstream products. Given the existing manufacturing capacity, India can be a game-changer if it has the right policy putting the downstream aluminium sector on the fast growth track.In contrast to the average global consumption of 11 kg of aluminium per person, India utilises just 2.5 kg at present. With the right legislative action, domestic downstream aluminium manufacturers can not only increase consumption from 4 million tonnes annually but also catapult India into becoming a global supplier of extrusions, rolled sheets, foils and other products.
