Strengthening Domestic Supply and Innovation
With this launch, NALCO continues to strengthen its position as a reliable supplier of advanced aluminium products for India’s growing manufacturing ecosystem. The IA90 grade is seen as a response to the increasing demand for high-quality, lightweight, and durable materials in the Indian auto sector, which is witnessing significant expansion and technology shifts, including the shift to electric vehicles.
