At the International Conference on Sustainable and Responsible Mining, Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy unveiled the Aluminium Vision Document, signaling a strategic shift in how India views and manages one of its most vital industrial resources.
Framed within the broader Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, the roadmap lays out an ambitious plan to increase aluminium production nearly sixfold by the country’s 100th year of independence.
Despite being the world’s second-largest aluminium producer, India currently contributes only 6 per cent to the global output, underscoring a significant gap between capacity and potential. The new vision aims to bridge this gap not just by scaling production but by transforming aluminium into a central pillar of India’s sustainable development model.
Building capacity and securing resources
To meet rising domestic and global demand, the document outlines a plan to expand aluminium production from around 4.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to nearly 37 mtpa by 2047, backed by an estimated INR 20 lakh crore (USD 241 billion) investment.
