The aluminium end-user segment remained quite insightful during the week. It can be seen that the use of aluminium is not just limited to the industrial sectors but is widespread. Indian Railways announced a tender of INR 26,000 crore for the production of 200 units of the Vande Bharat train with aluminium carriages. Apart from this, aluminium as a metal also finds its use in electronic devices like fitness wearables. Dhyana, an Indian fitness wearables start-up with endorsements from Abhinav Bindra, an Olympic gold medalist, and badminton icon Pullela Gopichand, made the second iteration of its ultra-light unibody aluminium ring, which serves as a health-tracker, publicly public. Aluminium as a metal is gradually outperforming other metals like glass or plastic. This can be seen with the news of the Organic Oral Care brand switching from glass to aluminium bottles.
