Hindalco already has an extensive footprint in the State, with existing investments worth ₹25,000 crore, primarily focused on its world-class aluminium smelter in Mahan, located in the Singrauli district. The new investment aims to further enhance the company’s presence and boost the local economy.
Pai also highlighted the impact of global trade policies on Hindalco’s operations, particularly in the United States, “Hindalco has a very large American subsidiary called Novelis. So for the consolidated Hindalco, we believe that these tariffs are neutral to positive because our American subsidiary benefits and Hindalco in India does not really export aluminium to the US. So for us, we are neutral to positive.”
Apart from Hindalco, other Aditya Birla Group entities such as UltraTech Cement and Grasim’s Viscose Staple Fibre division are also working on independent projects in Madhya Pradesh, further reinforcing the group’s commitment to the State’s industrial growth.
