State-owned aluminium maker National Aluminium Company (Nalco) and Indian Defence Ministry’s Mishra Dhatu Nigam Ltd (MIDHANI) are in talks to produce auto-grade aluminium and high-end value added products.

Under the Government of India’s mission for Make in India, Nalco is planning to take up the projects through joint venture with MIDHANI to manufacture auto-grade aluminium and other products which are not manufactured in India.
Dr. Tapan Kumar Chand, CMD Nalco said, “51% of the India’s aluminium requirements are presently met through imports from China, Middle East and other countries. Of this, a major portion is value added products, that are not produced in India, and are used by the auto and aero sectors.”
