Tapan Kumar Chand, CMD, NALCO and Chairman of Aluminium Association of India told PTI that Indian aluminium industry will be not significantly affected by aluminium tariff. Since India already has a large export market in the ex-USA world so tariff will affect a small portion of its aluminium exports.

U.S. President Donald Trump last week signed proclamation that imposed 10 per cent tariff on imported aluminium l and 25 per cent on steel.
Vedanta Ltd said that the company exports around 5 per cent or 1, 00,000 tonnes of its aluminium volumes, to the US, hence the duties are not a game changer.
"Moreover, the market prices will adjust accordingly with higher premiums to reflect the higher cost of supply due to the 10 per cent duties," Vedanta Ltd Chief Sales & Marketing Officer (Global Aluminium Business) Jean-Baptiste Lucas told PTI.
"But, we obviously regret such unilateral decision in breach of WTO rules on a fast growing market, which will continue to be a large net importer of aluminium -- these additional costs will put an extra burden on our US customers that will ultimately make them uncompetitive," Lucas said.
