India's aluminium market is entering a period in which demand growth will test more than production capacity. Consumption is expected to rise as railways, electric mobility, renewable energy, electrical networks, construction and advanced manufacturing absorb more of the metal, yet procurement remains exposed to volatile prices, varied specifications and working-capital pressures. For manufacturers, securing aluminium competitively is increasingly a question of what to source, from whom, in what quantity, at what point and with what price exposure. That complexity is expanding the role of distributors capable of managing more than physical supply. India Aluminium Trading Company (IAT Aluminium) has spent 55 years building that capability.
