Abstract

India is an important player in the aluminium, especially because of its abundant bauxite reserves and low-cost skilled manpower. The sector has a significant importance in the growth of Indian economy since the aluminium consumption follows GDP growth curve. Indian aluminium sector is observed as one of the energy intensive sectors with ample scope for improvements in energy efficiency as compared to world standards. The aluminium industries are upgrading themselves by adapting state-of-art technologies, which are more energy-efficient and sustainable in a highly competitive market. These initiatives are further accelerated and motivated by an innovative incentivization scheme (called Perform, Achieve and Trade) of Govt. of India. Currently, the first phase (2012-15) is under implementation, and an unexpected movement towards energy efficiency is envisaged as a result that will ultimately lead towards production of low carbon aluminium for the society.
