Jindal Aluminium sees better export prospects on demand from emerging markets

By Rituraj Baruah New Delhi, Jan 10 : Aluminium products maker Jindal Aluminium Ltd has not witnessed any pandemic impact on its exports and the international demand is expected to grow with the emerging markets, said Pragun Jindal Khaitan, Vice-Chairman & Managing Director of the company.
In an interaction with IANS, Khaitan, noted that the growth of exports would require that Indian aluminium product manufacturers are given a level playing field with the international counterparts.
The company exports 15-20 per cent of its products.
“We did not experience any rise or drop in export, with 15 to 20 per cent of the total output dispersed as per demand, thus keeping the cycle constant,” he said.
He, however, noted that since the US has imposed a 48 per cent anti-dumping duty on aluminium sheets and coils from India, the exports there are subdued.
Khaitan added that the company is making up for this shortfall by concentrating its efforts to export to other countries.
