• INR 100 crore acquisition restarts production supporting local economy and other internal and external stakeholders
• The deal will add 14,000 MTPA extrusions capacity to Jindal Aluminium

Jindal Aluminium Limited, India’s largest producer of Aluminium extruded products, has concluded an INR 100 crore acquisition of the assets of Indo Alusys Industries Limited (IAIL) and announced successful commencement of production at the revived Bhiwadi plant.

The acquisition of IAIL’s assets covers its manufacturing unit located in the industrial area of Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. About 70km from the national capital, the location offers strategic access of the northern market to Jindal Aluminium and brings a potential capacity of 14,000 MTPA (Metric Tonnes Per Annum) extrusions. Once fully operational, Jindal Aluminium’s extrusion capacity is expected to increase from 1.25 Lakh MTPA to 1.39 Lakh MTPA. The IAIL acquisition besides enabling Jindal Aluminium to add capacity, also helps revive the local economy, benefit community and other stakeholders.

“The acquisition of the Bhiwadi plant of IAIL reflects our commitment to enrich society through Aluminium products, and it is a vision deeply imbibed by our Founder and Chairman, Dr. Sitaram Jindal”. Said Pragun Jindal Khaitan, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Jindal Aluminium Limited.

Jindal Aluminium started production at this newly acquired facility on 6th December, with an initial capacity of 1000 metric tonnes per month, and the company plans to increase it to 4000 metric tonnes per month by the end of March 2022.

“With the growing use of engineered aluminium products in the Indian economy, this acquisition will allow us to better service the needs of the market and build capacity. Such inorganic growth allows us to focus on our core competencies and support the people, society and economy. Further, it strengthens our position as India’s largest aluminium extrusion company and extends our lead in the sector”, adds Pragun Jindal Khaitan (Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Jindal Aluminium Limited).

Jindal Aluminium is focused on new opportunities in domestic manufacturing and is continuously increasing its share in the export market. The company plans to add capacity through both organic and inorganic options. Notable inclusions in 2020-21 were the addition of a fifth caster to the rolling division leading to its capacity expansion by 25% and commissioning one of India’s largest environment-friendly powder coating facilities.
