New Delhi, July 18 (UNI) Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminum, makes a case for ‘green’ aluminum at the recently held national webinar by the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) of India. With its world-class aluminum smelters, metal expertise, global technology partnerships, and deep R&D capabilities, Vedanta Aluminium has been a long-time partner to the auto industry, developing product solutions perfectly tailored to their evolving needs.
The company is keen to partner with the automotive sector across the value chain, from large players to OEMs and MSMEs, for reducing the industry’s import dependence. ACMA’s event themed on ‘Light-weight- ing with Aluminium and Sustainability’ witnessed the participation of top executives from key players in the auto, auto components, and aluminum industries. Nikhil Bhagchandani, Dy. Director Marketing, Vedanta Aluminum, who was the keynote speaker at the event, highlighted the importance of ‘green’ aluminum (i.e. aluminum with a low carbon footprint) in bolstering the endeavors of automakers to decarbonize their products. The company is India’s first to launch low carbon aluminum, branded ‘Restora’, for customers looking to source raw materials responsibly for creating a green value chain. Restora has a carbon footprint that is nearly half the global threshold for aluminum to be considered as low carbon. Its second green product, Restora Ultra, has an even lower carbon footprint, which is near zero, and is amongst the lowest in the world.
