EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objectives of the study are carrying out analysis of Indian Aluminium Industry and carry out the SWOT analysis.
Aluminium is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. Many uses of aluminium lie in Transportation, Packaging, Construction, household items, watches and notebook computers (Apple),Street lighting poles, sailing ship masts, walking poles etc, Outer shells of consumer electronics, Electrical transmission lines for power distribution, MKM steel and Alnico magnets, Super purity aluminium (SPA, 99.980% to 99.999% Al), used in electronics and CDs, Heat sinks for electronic appliances such as transistors
