HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LIMITED
AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN ALUMINIUM AND COPPER
Hindalco Industries Limited, the metal flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group is the
world’s largest aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary
aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter is the world’s largest custom smelter at a single location.
Established in 1958, they commissioned their aluminium facility at Renukoot in Eastern Uttar
Pradesh, India in 1962. Later merger and acquisitions, with Indal, Birla copper and the Nifty and
Mt. Gordan copper mines in Australia, strengthened their position in value-added alumina,
aluminium and copper products.
The acquisition of Novelis Inc. In 2007 positioned them among the top five aluminium majors
worldwide and the largest vertically integrated aluminium company in India. Today they are a
metal powerhouse with high-end rolling capabilities and a global footprint in 13 countries. The
consolidated turnover of USD 15.85 billion (Rs. 72,078 crore) places them in the Fortune 500
league.
