Hindalco
Industries Limited is a global leader in aluminium and copper. The metals powerhouse has
a consolidated turnover of Rs. 72,078 crore (US$ 15.85 billion). It is the world's largest aluminium
rolling company and one of the biggest producers
of primary aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter
is the world's largest custom smelter at a single
location.
Established
in 1958, Hindalco commissioned its aluminium facility
at Renukoot in Eastern U.P in 1962. Later acquisitions
and mergers with Indal, Birla Copper and the Nifty
and Mt. Gordon copper mines in Australia, strengthened
the company's position in value-added alumina,
aluminium and copper products, with vertical integration
through access to captive copper concentrates.
In
2007, the acquisition of Novelis Inc. a world
leader in aluminium rolling and can recycling,
marked a significant milestone in the history
of the aluminium industry in India. With Novelis
under its fold, Hindalco ranks among the global
top five aluminium majors, as an integrated producer
with low-cost alumina and aluminium facilities
combined with high-end rolling capabilities and
a global footprint in 13 countries outside India.
Its combined turnover of around US$ 15.85 billion,
places it in the Fortune 500 league.
