About the conference

As India’s aluminium industry enters a new phase of growth, the need for stronger collaboration across the value chain has never been greater. Aluminium Bharat 2026, presented by ALEMAI (Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India), builds on the legacy of ALUMEX and expands the platform to bring together the wider aluminium products ecosystem.

With BigMint as the Conference Co-host, the event brings together aluminium producers, extrusion manufacturers, recyclers, technology providers, raw material suppliers, downstream industries, architects, consultants, buyers and policymakers to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector.

From primary aluminium and secondary metal to billets, extrusions and downstream products, the conference will examine how India can strengthen its domestic value chain while navigating changing global trade and supply-chain dynamics. Key discussions will focus on market growth, raw material security, recycling and circularity, technology adoption, trade policy, energy efficiency and higher-value applications.

The growing use of aluminium across EVs, renewable energy, transportation, infrastructure, electrical and electronics, aerospace and defence will further highlight opportunities for Indian manufacturers to move towards specialised products and greater value addition.

Through industry dialogue, market insights and knowledge sharing, Aluminium Bharat 2026 aims to facilitate meaningful connections and actionable strategies for a more competitive, resilient and future-ready aluminium industry.

Data Story

India’s aluminium ecosystem by numbers

Capacity Insight

Extrusion production and capacity utilisation

Extrusion production
India has around 3.5 MTPA of installed extrusion capacity, providing a strong manufacturing base for the sector. However, production remains significantly below the installed capacity, with output at around 1.4-1.5 mnt in 2025, indicating considerable headroom to improve capacity utilisation.
Demand Growth

India’s aluminium demand set for strong growth

Demand growth
India’s aluminium demand currently stands at around 5.5 mnt as of FY26 and is projected to reach nearly 9 mnt by 2030, driven by infrastructure development, urbanisation, electrification and manufacturing growth.
Challenge Map

Key challenges facing India’s extrusion industry

Challenges
India’s extrusion industry is entering a period of strong demand growth, but cost competitiveness, import pressure and technology gaps remain key challenges.
