Aluminium, copper and specialty alumina offer endless possibilities for creating new shapes and forms, unlocking the power of technology. Our R&D capacity allows us to develop downstream products and offer new technological solutions.
Our R&D efforts are two-pronged: we harness internal expertise for product development, manufacturing and design, while partnering with recognised institutions to meet the fast-growing demand for new-age products.
We invest heavily in R&D – in FY21-22 alone, we invested ₹716 crore to further our innovation goals. Our HICs cover the full spectrum of research and development, applied technology, and market-led innovation.
Hindalco is also a powerful catalyst in facilitating the global transition to electrical vehicles, a greener solution for personal mobility. Our commitment to innovation has made us a one-stop shop for EV production, offering a complete range of solutions such as battery enclosures, bus bars, motor housing, and other auto components.
In 2022, we launched India’s very first aluminium freight rake. These wagons are three tonnes lighter than their steel counterparts, are far more energy-efficient, and can carry over 5% more payload — all while reducing maintenance costs by 40%. This is undoubtedly a major step towards a sustainable future and will prove to be a game-changer for the Indian Railways.
