Mass Transportation

Key Observations :

w Currently the 5th largest passenger car producer & 8th largest commercial vehicle producer in the world

w The Indian auto industry has grown at a CAGR of

16% in the last 5 years

w India is now a export base for many global auto

majors

w Aluminium usage is still at a nascent stage

Aluminium Extrusions Usage in Automotives

w Current usage of aluminium extrusions is restricted to engine mounts, radiator frames, brake components, seat frames & a few other minor applications

w As opposed to the average aluminium extrusions usage of 11.5 kg in Europe in passenger cars, the usage in India is as low as 2 to 3 kg per car

w Even cars manufactured by European/American manufacturers like Volkswagen, Renault, General Motors & Ford have very low usage of aluminium extrusions

w Supply to this industry would require tough tolerance adherence, extremely well documented production procedures

Key Observations :

w Production of equipment for the telecom

industry was valued at $11.87 billion in 2010

w Industry is currently facing a lull in growth but is

expected to come back on track next year

w Production revenue is set to increase to $23.5

billion by 2014

w Development and sales of enclosures and cooling solution.

w Extruded aluminum superior as a heat dissipater.

w Outperforms cast aluminum with thermal conductivity that is twice as effective and copper by lower weight.

w Cooling fins can be made very narrow, closely spaced and with high degree of precision.

India – Growing Market Opportunities

Market segments

Building Industry

Solar Power

Key Observations :

w Building industry is the largest consumer of extrusions

Construction is now moving heavily into Tier II and Tier

III cities in addition to Tier I cities

w Current demand for extrusions from this sector is

largely for simple door & window sections

w The usage of building systems and Unitized systems are

yet to gain large scale acceptance in the market

Challenges in the Indian extrusions market

w Aluminium is still used only for simple applications at present in India

w Complex applications, a small market by itself, are catered to through

imports

w Technical know how is significantly lesser than in Europe & USA

w Customers prefer to buy “off the shelf” products; This will have to

change with more industrial applications coming in

w Price is a key driving factor and India is amongst the most price sensitive

markets in the world.

w Quality extrusions will cost more , but pays in the long run. Evaluate the

whole life costs while deciding where to buy from.

Challenges in the Indian extrusions market

w Building & Construction sector is becoming more quality conscious

Architects / Big builders are directly interacting with Extruders for

supply of profiles

w Some of changes happening are:

Wider sections

More complex shapes

Tighter tolerances

w Focus towards buying ‘Solutions’ rather than ‘off the shelf profiles’ is

increasing

Building Industry

Solar Power

Key Observations :

w With a large population & high solar insolation , is an

ideal location for solar energy production

w In 2009, India unveiled a plan to produce 20GW of solar

power by 2020; Current production from Solar Power is

less than 1 GW

w Aluminium is the metal of choice for the Solar Panels

being manufactured; About 40-50 tonnes of extrusions

are used for mounting systems per MW of installation

Mitigating Climate Change

w Reducing the carbon footprint will influence all businesses w Government of India has announced 25% reduction in the emission intensity by 2020 w Measures to be taken: Mandatory fuel efficiency for vehicles by 2011 Model energy conservation codes for buildings & recommend states to make this mandatory Clean technology in power generation Increase the forest cover

Toward Green Solutions

w At one third the weight of steel and extensive design options,

Aluminium is the ideal solution for the building & construction

industry

w A variety of options for Green solutions in buildings:

Photo Voltaic integrated systems

Unitized solutions

Double skin curtain walling

Thermal breaks

Sun light louvers

w Increased popularity of using aluminium formwork and shutters as it

improves construction speed and quality significantly

Focus on energy efficiency

w Buildings account for over 40 per cent of the global consumption of electricity

w Energy-efficient solutions for buildings are increasingly important

Photovoltaic integrated solutions for active buildings This window profile section has a low U-value thanks to a skeleton of fibreglass-reinforced polyamide that effectively interrupts the thermal path and reduces convection and radiation between the inner and outer aluminium profiles

Towards Solutions

w With growing demands in India, extruders need to find new ways to

differentiate themselves from others

w Extruders know the possibilities & limitations of aluminium extrusions and

this knowledge needs to be passed on to customers to help design better

products

w With more demand expected from the Industrial segments, extruders need

to get involved with customers in the design stage itself

w Extruders in Europe & USA have moved further down the value added

chain and supply fabricated products to customers

w This trend is also slowly being adapted by few Indian extruders
