Vedanta becomes the first in the Indian aluminium business to receive the BIS certification

Vedanta, one of the largest producers of aluminium in India, has achieved yet another milestone. The company obtained the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification and has become the first in the Indian aluminium business to have received the BIS certification for its broad range of aluminium products. With this certification, all their products are now Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certified, upholding its claim to unrivalled quality.

"Aluminium will be indispensable to a low carbon future, with its limitless potential for applications in clean energy solutions, electric mobility, green buildings, high-tech manufacturing, sustainable packaging and more. Therefore, Vedanta Aluminium has robust systems in place to understand and exceed customer expectations. The BIS certifications for our products show that Indian manufacturing is synonymous to high quality, the benefits of which are being passed on to the end consumer. In India's journey to become a global manufacturing powerhouse, we are proud flag-bearers of the nation's manufacturing prowess," said Mr Rahul Sharma, CEO of the Aluminium Business, Vedanta Ltd.

The fact that Vedanta's aluminium goods are registered with the London Metal Exchange (LME) is undeniable proof of their high level of quality around the world. The firm has aggressively pursued the BIS certifications to further increase Indian consumers' trust that the aluminium they purchase has been certified by the nation's top authority on quality standards.

For its products and their uses in various electrical, automotive, and engineering industries, the firm has obtained a total of 15 certifications. The Bureau of Industrial Standards is the top domestic agency responsible for establishing quality standards in sectors throughout the country. These certifications reaffirm Vedanta Aluminium's commitment to making quality and dependability the primary characteristics of its product offerings. The company is also working with BIS to develop standards for aluminium products and raw materials for which suitable quality standards currently need to be created.

"Vedanta Aluminium has displayed immense proactiveness by coming forward voluntarily to certify its product range through the comprehensive standards established by BIS. An uncompromising focus on quality is the hallmark of any great organisation, and Vedanta deserves praise for pioneering new benchmarks in this regard. I am sure that this move will encourage several other organisations to collaborate with BIS to ensure quality product offerings for consumers," said Mr Jagannath Majhi, Head, BIS – Bhubaneswar.
