Coimbatore MSMEs seek easier aluminium scrap imports amid raw-material pressure
Coimbatore-based MSME and industry associations have urged the Government of India to facilitate and encourage imports of aluminium scrap, citing reported shortages of essential metals and rising production costs affecting local manufacturers.

CLSA expects the Odisha High Court’s dismissal of Vedanta Aluminium Metal’s bauxite petition to have a muted medium-term impact, despite a potential one-time liability and higher aluminium production costs.

Including interest, the one-time impact could reach USD 290 million, equivalent to around 2.8 per cent...
