"In the non-ferrous metal sector, primary aluminium production in FY 2024-25 (April-November) posted a growth of 1.1% over the corresponding period last year, increasing to 27.91 lakh tonnes in financial year 2024-25 (April-November) from 27.60 LT in financial year 2023-24 (April-November)," the mines ministry said.
India is the second-largest aluminium producer and the fourth-largest iron ore producer in the world.
Continued growth in the production of iron ore in the current financial year reflects the robust demand conditions in the user industry viz. steel.
Coupled with growth in aluminium and copper, these growth trends point towards continued strong economic activity in user sectors such as energy, infrastructure, construction, automotive and machinery.
