Hindalco already has a strong presence in Madhya Pradesh, with existing investments worth Rs 250 billion, primarily focused on its world-class aluminium smelter in Mahan, Singrauli district. The new investment aims to strengthen Hindalco’s operations, generate employment, and contribute to the local economy. Pai also addressed the impact of global trade policies, particularly in the United States, highlighting that Hindalco’s American subsidiary, Novelis, benefits from recent tariffs.
