Job Context : The global Aluminium market is valued at USD 87.84 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow 7.5 % (CAGR) from 2022 to 2030. Increase in demand for lightweight and durable extruded products is driving the growth. Top aluminum extruders are investing and creating tough competition.

This plant is first of its kind, across the globe to have mill finish, anodized, powder coated, fabricated products manufactured under one roof. The profiles developed and manufactured are highly complex in nature, having critical die design, challenging operations, involve highly skilled technicians, special machinery and processes. This unit has two 8-inch press with a capacity of 16KT per annum, anodizing 2.5 KT per annum, powder coating 3.2KT per annum along with various fabrication machinery like manual and robotic welding, CNC cutting & machining centers, Flaring & collaring, assembly lines serving for Building & construction (38%) , industrial (41%), Exports (11%), Automotive (7%), and solar segments (3%).

This unit is increasing its business in automated warehouse system, premium anodizing finish products (exports). Solar energy and automotive (domestic) segments by increasing utilization of existing facility with additional shifts, setting up new fabrication facility, additional anodizing tanks and a brand-new extrusion press.

Job Challenges : The Statutory Norms with respect to Environment Protection is becoming very stringent day by day therefore it is very important and challenging to comply with this requirement in a given scenario. In some of the plant sections hazardous chemicals are handled and therefore the risk potential is very high.

Post-acquisition, Hindalco standards on sustainability need to be implemented at Kuppam works like zero waste to landfill, zero liquid discharge, waste and water task force initiatives to keep the unit over and above regulatory compliances, SUP free unit certification, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirement compliance, biodiversity & plantation enhancement etc. Moreover APPCB directions on implementation of zero liquid discharge and decommissioning of existing solar pond need to be complied within stipulated timelines.
