Hindalco Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, has grown into a global leader in aluminium and copper. With major expansions, including Novelis acquisition, it now targets sustainable growth through innovation and heavy investments.
Hindalco Industries Limited, a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, has transformed into a global leader in the production of Aluminium and copper, with a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Humble Beginnings to Industrial Giant
Hindalco started its journey as Hindustan Aluminium Corporation Limited in 1958. Just four years later, in 1962, the company commenced operations at Renukoot, Uttar Pradesh, with an annual capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes of Aluminium and 40,000 metric tonnes of alumina. In 1989, the company rebranded itself as Hindalco Industries Limited, setting the stage for its rise as a major player in the global metals market.
Expanding Global Footprint
A significant milestone came in 2007 when Hindalco acquired Novelis Inc., the world’s largest Aluminium rolling and recycling company. This move not only boosted Hindalco’s international presence but also placed it at the forefront of sustainable metal solutions. Today, Hindalco stands as one of Asia’s largest producers of primary Aluminium (excluding China). With Novelis, it is a global leader in flat-rolled Aluminium products and also the world’s largest recycler of Aluminium. The company also holds a strong position in specialty alumina and hydrates, catering to a wide range of industries including automotive, construction, and packaging.
