Indian aluminium industry to seek revival of ADPC

Aluminium Association of India (AAI) will approach the Ministry of Mines for the revival of Aluminum Development and Promotion Council, its newly elected President Tapan Kumar Chand has said.

"We are in an important phase of growth for the sector. We will emphasize on development of downstream Industries to go along with primary metal producers," Chand said in his address to the AAI Governing Council meeting here.

Chand, who is the Chairman and Managing Director of NALCO, was elected as Honorary President of AAI at its Governing Council meeting held here yesterday, according to a release by the Association. He said they would also press for the revival of Development Committee on Aluminium Utilisation.

The Aluminium industry wants the government to declare the sector as a "Core Industry" like steel and cement as aluminium too has its applications widely spread out like steel in particular, the release said.

At the meeting, it was announced that the next International Conference on Aluminium (INCAL) would be organised in Bhubaneswar in early 2017, wherein all overseas associations will take part.

The theme of the conference will be 'Make in India: Aluminium the Strategic Metal'.
