Aluminum
- India and the adjoining region area's demand for aluminum is supposed to grow by 12% per year for the next decade.
- Cheap plant, technology and raw material will be sourced from India and coupled with cheap power, Nippon aims to build a state-of-the-art profitable aluminum plant. The charts below show that the Indian subcontinent has ample raw material but enough production. This plant will fill this gap.
- The motivation for an aluminum smelter plant project comes from cheap source of hydro power that Nippon has managed to tap into. Nippon having been founded on hydropower realizes the potential of harnessing this power to cater to the burgeoning demand in South Asia for the metal.
