On August 31, 2023, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry together with the Ministry of Mines introduced a new regulation for the quality control of aluminium and aluminium alloys. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) mandate requires all aluminium wire rods and rolled products (sheets, plates, and strips) sold in India to be certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Vedanta Aluminium has become the first and only company in India to have received BIS certification for its products manufactured at both its BALCO facility in Chhattisgarh and Jharsuguda unit in Odisha. The company holds BIS certification for a wide range of aluminium products, including 12 mm wire rods, rolled sheets, rolled conductor plates, rolled plates, EC ingots, alloy ingots, and primary ingots, all of which cater to various engineering and industrial purposes. The company now boasts seven BIS certifications across 17 products, giving it a competitive edge in both domestic and international markets.
Said Sunil Gupta, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Vedanta Aluminium, “The government’s mandate for the certification is in the right direction to ensure India produces and consumes high quality aluminium. We remain dedicated to supporting India’s journey towards becoming an Aatmanirbhar Bharat by ensuring our products meet stringent global and national standards.”
By embracing cutting-edge technology, global expertise, and R&D, Vedanta serves over 60 countries, maintaining its reputation as a preferred supplier worldwide. With its world-class aluminium smelters, alumina refinery and power plants in India, the company fulfils its mission of spurring emerging applications of aluminium as the ‘Metal of the Future’ for a greener tomorrow.
