Vedanta Aluminium Launches Products for Power and Transmission Industry at PowerEdge 2024

Vedanta Aluminium has introduced two high-quality products for the power and transmission industry at 'PowerEdge 2024'.

The first, the AL59 Ingot, offers superior electrical conductivity, making it ideal for remelting. The second product is the electrical conductor (EC) grade Wire Rod, designed for winding strip applications with a balance of strength, conductivity, workability, and formability. Both products are engineered for high-precision use, making them perfect for fine drawing, conforming, and enameling in transformer and motor winding applications.

These products were showcased at PowerEdge 2024, an industry-focused event that attracted companies from the power and transmission sectors, sector experts, and policymakers.

India's electricity demand grew by 7 percent in 2023, with an expected average annual growth rate of 6 percent through 2026. To ensure a reliable, affordable, and uninterrupted power supply, it is crucial to develop an efficient and robust infrastructure that optimally utilizes electricity from generation stations to load centers.

Speaking about the performance of the platform, John Slaven, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “PowerEdge 2024 highlighted the vital role aluminium plays in enabling the energy sector's transformation, and our new product offerings are a testament to this vision. We reaffirm our commitment to driving efficiency and sustainability in the power industry."

Vedanta Aluminium works closely with customers across industries to cater to their specific and dynamic needs. With a production capacity of 650 kilo tonnes (KT) in wire rod production, the company offers a wide range of top-quality EC-grade wire rods, alloy wire rods, and flip coils for the electrical industry. These products are manufactured using best-in-class technologies from Southwire (USA) and Continuus-Properzi (Italy), ensuring high precision and quality.

This scale and range of production make Vedanta Aluminium the largest producer of wire rods globally (ex-China). These products are supplied to customers in over 60 countries for high-end applications, attesting to their high production quality and global demand.

Additionally, the company's Restora and Restora Ultra ranges, manufactured using renewable energy and recovered aluminium respectively, offer some of the lowest carbon footprints globally, highlighting Vedanta Aluminium's commitment to providing sustainably produced materials to the global power and transmission industry.

Vedanta Aluminium is the first to receive certification for its extensive product range as per all applicable standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
