Indian electronics makers turn to aluminium as copper costs squeeze margins
Indian electronics manufacturers are increasingly substituting aluminium for copper in key components as surging metal costs put pressure on margins.

Copper prices have climbed nearly 45 per cent year-on-year, prompting companies to pursue so-called value engineering across components such as motor windings, condenser coils and transformers. The shift towards lower-cost materials could reduce overall manufacturing costs by around 2 per cent to 6 per cent, according to the source. The move comes as electronics companies face less room to pass higher input costs on to consumers. Several manufacturers have...
