Amongst metals, Aluminium ranks second, next only to steel, in terms of volumes used, due to its versatility, which stems from its excellent properties. It is exceptionally light, has high strength when alloyed, is impervious to rust & possesses a high degree of workability. It is also a good conductor of heat and electricity and has a soft luster, with an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Aluminium is highly recyclable and over 70% of the total metal produced till date, is still in use. The proportion of recycled metal in total aluminum produced is constantly increasing Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the earths crust, after oxygen and silicon. It makes up about 8% by weight, of the Earths solid surface. Aluminium is also considered to be a Green Metal, and the Aluminium Industry is the only industry in the world to claim to become green house gas (GHG) neutral, by the year 2020.
ALUMINIUM GREEN METAL According to the International Aluminium Institute (IAI), global production of new aluminium stock account for 1% of the global human-induced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which cause global warming. However, the energy savings that can be made through recycling the metal repeatedly, fuel savings that can be obtained by light-weighting the vehicles and reduction of emissions from vehicles made of aluminium cumulatively have a far greater positive impact on the global environment and climate change. For example, every 100 kg of automotive aluminium replacing other heavier materials saves about 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide over the vehicles lifetime on account of enhanced fuel efficiency

India is positioned in 6th place with a bauxite resource base of about 770Mt. Almost 85% of these resources consist of the metallurgical grade bauxite, which is used in aluminium production. High quality bauxite ore and low labour and power costs has established India as one of the lowest cost producers of primary aluminium worldwide. Indian companies lie in the least quartile of the global primary aluminium cost curve. Indias primary production capacity at the end-March 2009 was 1.53Mt, which is an increase from 1.20Mt at the end- March 2008..
Indias remarkably low per capita consumption of 1.6kg offers immense potential for growth in its domestic market. Indias domestic aluminium consumption tripled between 2002 - 2009 from 0.5Mt to 1.4Mt a CAGR growth of 12%. The industry has been closely following the robust growth in demand by increasing domestic capacity at a CAGR of 10% from 0.75Mt to 1.32Mt in the same period. Domestic production also increased at a CAGR of 11% from 0.6Mt to 1.5Mt. Between 2009 and 2014, however, demand is expected to grow at a CAGR 9.5% to 2Mt driven by the automotive and construction sectors, which are each likely to grow at a CAGR of 10% during the same period. The Three major producersHindalco, Vedanta Group and the state owned Nalco, together account for the majority of share of total domestic aluminium production in India

Aluminium can be recycled over and over again without loss of properties. Aluminium recycling benefits present and future generations by conserving natural resources and energy. Recycling saves up to 95 per cent of the energy required for primary aluminium production, thereby avoiding corresponding emissions, including greenhouse gases.
Global aluminium recycling rates are high, approximately 90 per cent for transport and construction applications and about 60 per cent for beverage cans. At the global level, one-third of all aluminium metal entering the market is from recycled material. Recycled material accounted for around 15 million tonnes (IAI estimates). This comprises 7.7 million tonnes returned from customers after fabrication processes and 7.4 million tonnes of product returned from end-ofuse (for example, aluminium content of used motor vehicles and used beverage cans UBCs).The global energy saving is around 215,000 GWh,

Packaging
Aluminium, the ideal material for Packaging has made significant inroads into the packaging sector, and is already a well established packaging raw material in the western world. Aluminium is used extensively for the protection, storage and preparation of food and beverages as well as medicines and cosmetics. The key geographical areas for growth in packaging, are the developing countries. Aluminium foil has excellent barrier properties which keeps out air & moisture and makes it superior to paper packaging.
Power
The Electrical sector is still a major consuming sector for Aluminium, in India. Aluminium or Aluminium alloy electrical conductors are widely used in overhead electrical transmission and distribution cables, power systems and substations . Aluminium is particularly well suited to these uses because of its high electrical conductivity, low weight and good resistance to corrosion..
There are really only a few application sectors where aluminium is not used. Use is expected to grow as its properties are especially appreciated by designers, architects and engineers as well as by the manufacturers and end users of the product.
GDP Growth
Primary Aluminium consumption in India has grown from 450 kt in 1991, to 1,140 kt in 2008 and currently accounts for 3.1 % of global consumption. Total Aluminium consumption (Primary + Recycled) has grown significantly, at a CAGR of around 15% during 2002-09 and reached 1.5 million tonnes. As per Mckinsey & Co., Indian Aluminium use will grow 9 to 11 per cent to 2.10 to 2.75 million tonnes, by 2015. As per Mckinsey & Co.,the growth drivers of the Indian economy are as follows: Indian incomes will triple over next two decades India will emerge as the fifth largest consumer economy. A large urban middle class will develop, but the rural sector will benefit too Patterns of consumption will shift rapidly, towards discretionary spending. The Aluminum consumption follows the GDP growth curve, hence these would also be growth drivers for the consumption of Aluminium

CONCLUSIONS The world is changing, competition reigns, and natural selection has been refining and perfecting business globally. Against this background, successful aluminum companies have been adapting their respective structures to address new market realities, improving management and production and devising optimum strategies. The aluminum business shows dynamic development, and the outlook for the metal as a structural material is bright. It is indispensable both for achieving higher standards of living and for supporting solutions to such crucial global issues as energy and material savings and ecological safety. Aluminium consumption per-capita increases rapidly to about 20 kg/person from 2 kg/person as per-capita income increase to $20000 from $50000. The end-uses to which aluminium is put appear to differ significantly between highincome countries and low-to middle-income countries. In low and middle income countries, the main uses of aluminium are in electrical systems and construction. In high-income countries, the largest use of aluminium is in transportation. Inconsistent end-use classifications, however, limit the quantification of these differences.

Long-Term Forecast Based on a model relating consumption to income, by 2025 aluminum consumption is likely to be 120 Mt compared with 45.3 Mt in 2006. This represents a growth rate of 4.1% per year. Most of the increased consumption will take place in countries that consumed only modest amounts of aluminum in 2006. China, which consumed about 6.6 kg percapita in 2006, is expected to consume 28.7 kg per-capita in 2025. Russia, which consumed 7.4 kg per-capita in 2006, is expected to consume 28.7 kg per-capita in 2025, and Brazil, which consumed 5.5 kg per-capita in 2006, is expected to consume 7.9 kg per-capita in 2025. Brazils consumption is based on a relatively modest projection that its rate of economic growth will only be 3% per year; recent data could indicate that Brazils future rate of growth may be greater than 3%. India, which consumed 1.8 kg per-capita in 2006, is expected to consume 4.2 kg percapita in 2025. Consumption in high-income countries is not expected to rise significantly on a per-capita basis, but total consumption may increase modestly owing to population increases.
41
The global inventory of aluminium in use has grown from 90 million tonnes in 1970 to about 600 million tonnes today and is forecast to reach more than 1 billion tonnes in 2020. This is creating a vast material and energy storage bank for future recycling use. The building sector is forecasted to represent up to 35%, transport 28% and engineering plus cable 27% of the 2020 inventory in use.
