Ready to take a giant leap, India was geared to make it big, especially in terms of innovation and industrialisation.</p> <p>Hindalco embarked on its journey in 1958. Its first real contribution to the vision of an industrial India occurred four years later, when the late visionary GD Birla set up India's first integrated aluminium facility at Renukoot, in the eastern fringe of Uttar Pradesh, India. It was backed by a captive thermal power plant at Renusagar in 1967. Hindalco attained its leadership position in the aluminium industry under the dynamic leadership of the late Aditya Vikram Birla — a formidable force in the Indian industry.</p> <p>And it was through the vision and guidance of Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, the Group Chairman that the business segments of aluminium and copper were consolidated to make Hindalco the non-ferrous metals powerhouse it is today. This was achieved in part by expansion through mergers and acquisitions with companies such as Indal and Birla Copper. Hindalco also secured copper reserves and amplified its operating base by acquiring Australian copper mines.</p> <p>Over the years, Hindalco has grown into a major vertically integrated aluminium company in the country and among the largest primary producers of aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter is today one of the world's largest custom smelter at a single location.</p> <p>In 2007, the landmark acquisition of Novelis Inc., the world's largest aluminium rolling company, placed Hindalco's footprint across the globe, securing it a rank amongst the top five global aluminium majors.</p> </div> </div> <div class="grid_3 innerpage_RHS""> <div class="in_section"> <div class="in_section"> <h3>In this section</h3> <ul> <li class="aboutLink"> <a href="/about-us/vision-and-values">Vision and Values</a></li> <li class="aboutLink"> <a href="/about-us/management-team">Management Team</a></li> <li class="aboutLink"> <a href="/about-us/our-companies">Our Companies</a></li> <li class="aboutLink"> <a href="/about-us/awards-and-recognitions">Awards and Recognitions</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="in_section" style="display:none;"> <h3><img src="/Hindalco/images/brands_icon.gif">Hindalco Brands</h3> <div class="imagebg_box"> <div class="slider"> <div id="Div1" class="flexslider"> <ul class="slides"> <li><img src="/Hindalco/images/hindalco_brands01.jpg" class="max-img"/></li> <li><img src="/Hindalco/images/hindalco_brands02.jpg" class="max-img"/></li> <li><img src="/Hindalco/images/hindalco_brands03.jpg" class="max-img"/></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="in_section"> </div> <div class="news" style='display:none'> <h3><img alt="" src="/Hindalco/Images/news_icon.gif">Latest updates</h3> <div class="newsbg_box"> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> </form>  <footer class="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="float_left copyright">Copyright © <span id="year-foot"></span> Hindalco Industries Ltd. | <a href="/legal-disclaimer">Legal disclaimer</a> | <a href="/beware-of-fraudulent-job-offers">Beware of fraudulent job offers</a> | <a href="https://www.hindalco.com/data-privacy-policy" target="_blank">Data Privacy Policy</a></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </footer>  <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/assets/js/bootstrap.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/jquery.slitslider.js"></script> <script src="/assets/js/custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> {document.getElementById("year-foot").innerHTML = (new Date().getFullYear());} function restoreli(type, li_id,spn_id) { if (type != "") { document.getElementById(type).style.visibility = "hidden"; } document.getElementById(spn_id).className = ""; } function showSubMenuli(type, li_id,spn_id) { if (type != "") { document.getElementById(type).style.visibility = "visible"; } document.getElementById(spn_id).className = "menu_active"; } </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/jquery.lazyload.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $(window).bind("load", function() { var timeout = setTimeout(function() { $("section.lazy").trigger("sporty") },800); }); $(".bg-img.lazy").lazyload({ effect : "fadeIn", event : "sporty" }); }); </script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('.go_btn').click(function() { debugger; //Top1_txtsearch if ($('#txtsearch').val().length > 0 && $.trim($('#txtsearch').val().toLowerCase()) != 'search') { if (CheckChars() == true) { var s= $('#txtsearch').val(); window.location.href = '/search/' + $('#txtsearch').val(); return true; } } else { alert('Please enter search keywords'); $('#txtsearch').focus(); return false; } return true; }); }); function clickBtn(e) { var i = 0; var iChars = "!#^&*\\\';,/{}|\<>?" if (window.event) // IE { if (e.keyCode == 13 && $('#txtsearch').val().length > 0 && $.trim($('#txtsearch').val().toLowerCase()) != 'search') { for (i = 0; i < $('#txtsearch').val().length; i++) { if (iChars.indexOf(document.getElementById('txtsearch').value.charAt(i)) != -1) { alert("Search string has special characters.
