Making history, shaping India

Creating history in the Indian non-ferrous metals industry

In the late 1950s, when India was giving shape to its economic vision, one visionary leader, the late G.D. Birla took the bold step to set up the country's first integrated aluminium facility at Renukoot, Uttar Pradesh. That vision gained strength as Hindalco Industries Ltd., grew in size and scale under the dynamic leadership of the late Aditya Vikram Birla.

Under the leadership of the Aditya Birla Group’s current Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Hindalco acquired Indal, the domestic aluminium major and the Australian Nifty and Mt Gordon copper mines, merging the Aditya Birla Group's copper division to create a non-ferrous metals powerhouse.

In 2007, Hindalco created history in the Indian and global aluminium industry by acquiring Novelis Inc., a global leader in aluminium rolling and can recycling, much larger than Hindalco This overseas acquisition has over the years proved to be one of the most successful overseas acquisitions by an Indian conglomerate. The acquisition of US-based rolled products major, Aleris Corporation, in April 2020, provided Hindalco with an entry into the high-end aerospace market and positioned the Company as the world’s No. 1 aluminium value-added player. As an integrated producer with low-cost alumina and aluminium facilities combined with high-end rolling capabilities, it is the world’s largest aluminium rolling and recycling company. It stands among Asia's leading primary aluminium producers and is at the forefront of India's non-ferrous metals sector.

Hindalco’s global footprint today spans 50 manufacturing units across 10 countries. Hindalco is anchored by a multi-cultural workforce of 40,000 employees.
