Hindalco commissions aluminium plant in Belagavi
Hindalco Industries has commissioned India's first greenfield Precipitated Aluminium Trihydrate plant in Belagavi. The facility, which runs entirely on renewable energy, aims to reduce domestic reliance on imports for fire-safety cable materials.
Why it matters
This development supports domestic manufacturing self-reliance and aligns industrial production with global environmental and safety standards.
Belagavi-based Hindalco Industries has commissioned a Precipitated Aluminium Trihydrate (PPT ATH) plant in the district.
A press release said that it is India’s first greenfield project in this category.
The facility boasts an annual capacity of 30,000 tonnes, marking a significant step toward domestic self-reliance in cable fire safety material.
The new plant is designed to meet almost the entire domestic demand for safer cables from the wire and cable industry.
While the initial Phase 1 capacity stands at 30,000 tonnes per annum, the facility is designed for phased expansion to 60,000 tonnes, allowing Hindalco to scale production in line with growing domestic market needs.
Prior to this development, India relied on imports for this grade of material.
