Vedanta Aluminium sets the benchmark for sustainable water management in India — pushes for 'Water Positivity by 2030'

In a country where water scarcity is both a rural crisis and an industrial liability, few sectors are as thirsty and as scrutinised as the aluminium industry. With primary aluminium production requiring anywhere between 20,000 to 40,000 litres of water per tonne, efficient water use isn’t just an...

Aluminium influence and overall commodity consumption cushion Japan’s Q1 GDP, shrinkage is lower than feared

Japan’s economic engine, though sputtering, is not stalling just yet. Revised data from the Cabinet Office show that Japan’s GDP shrank by only 0.2 per cent annualised in Q1 2025, sharply better than the earlier estimate of 0.7 per cent, and just enough to keep recessionary panic at bay. The...

India-US trade: Can India & US seal the deal? July 9 deadline fuels enduring partnership optimism, albeit past turbulence

India’s talks with the US for a Bilateral Trade Agreement, which would smoothen gross exports worth USD 86.5 billion (FY 2024–25 data, up 11.6 per cent from FY 23–24), are walking on a double-edged sword. Image source: Linkedin (Handle: Harnam Prajapati) With the progression of a second Trump...

Energy ‘transition’ or ‘triage’ — which do they choose? A global journey from idealism to realpolitik

When energy heavyweights, financiers and geopolitical policymakers convened at CERAWeek 2025, they confronted a truth too long ignored: the path to a net-zero future is being redrawn by geopolitics, national security imperatives and a resurgent fossil-fuel lobby. The publication titled ‘The energy...

In a metal market battered by volatile prices, inflationary stress, and escalating scrutiny over climate credentials, Alcoa’s 2024 Sustainability Report arrives not just as a routine corporate checklist but as a statement of ambition — and, in some areas, quiet disruption.

Why CBAM’s scrap loophole is a data and enforcement crisis waiting to erupt

For all its ambition, the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) suffers from a problem not uncommon in modern climate regulation: data complexity outpacing policy design. In our previous editorial derived from the same study by European Aluminium , we have explored how...

The US delay on EU duties signals strategy, not softening ‘brinkmanship’

The Trump administration has put a temporary lid on an economic powder keg by delaying the proposed 50 per cent tariffs on European Union exports until July 9, 2025. However, the world will have faced the same tariff rate card, specifically for aluminium and steel, starting June 04. Image for...

Here’s the trick! Study reveals how aluminium scrap, with a Billion-Euro backdoor, is potent to loosen EU’s Carbon Border for importers

When the European Union unveiled its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the ambition was clear: to build a fortress against carbon leakage, shield domestic industries from unfair competition, and incentivise global decarbonisation. It was heralded as the world’s most sophisticated climate...
