G. Kishan Reddy today released the Aluminium Vision Document at the International Conference on Sustainable and Responsible Mining through Best Mine Closure Practices, organised by the Indian National Committee of the World Mining Congress in Hyderabad.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Reddy said the Aluminium Vision Document reflects the Government’s commitment to building a self-reliant and resource-secure India. He highlighted the aluminium sector’s strategic role in enabling clean energy systems, electric mobility, and modern infrastructure. The document has been prepared through extensive consultations with industry stakeholders including National Aluminium Company Ltd. (NALCO), Hindalco Industries Ltd., Vedanta Ltd., Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre (JNARDDC) and leading associations such as the Aluminium Association of India (AAI), Aluminium Secondary Manufacturers Association (ASMA) and the Metal Recycling Association of India (MRAI).
The document outlines a strategic roadmap to scale up aluminium production six fold by 2047. It aims to expand bauxite production capacity to 150 MTPA, double the national aluminium recycling rate, promote the adoption of low-carbon technologies and strengthen raw material security through targeted policy reforms and institutional mechanisms.
The Aluminium Vision Document aligns with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047 and sets the foundation for a globally competitive and environmentally responsible aluminium industry.
