Nov 06, 2025
New Delhi [India], November 6: India's aluminium industry is undergoing a pivotal transformation. With national demand projected to rise from around 5.3 million tonnes today to nearly 8.3 million tonnes by 2030, both primary and secondary producers have crucial roles to play in meeting industrial and environmental goals. The secondary aluminium sector, founded on recycling domestic and imported scrap, now contributes nearly 40% of India's total aluminium supply and has become a cornerstone of sustainable manufacturing, supported by roughly 20 percent domestic and 80 percent imported scrap inputs.
