Emirates Aluminium, or Emal, one of the largest aluminium companies, has set up a plant in this industrial zone.
Also, it wants to offer at least 30% of its production in liquid metal to downstream units, thus saving them additional costs involved in first purchasing billets, re-melting them and then making aluminium products. The rest of the production will be in the form of billets, slabs and rods — both as pure aluminium and as alloys.
This could accelerate the export of bauxite to Kizad, as making aluminium there will be that much cheaper. It could also mean that some large producers of downstream aluminium products in India may opt to shift base to Kizad, he says.
