Its copper

smelter is the worlds largest custom smelter at a single location. Established in 1958, we commissioned our aluminium facility at Renukoot in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India in 1962. Later acquisitions and mergers, with Indal, Birla Copper and the Nifty and Mt. Gordon copper mines in Australia, strengthened our position in value-added alumina, aluminium and copper products.

The acquisition of Novelis Inc. in 2007 positioned us among the top five aluminium majors worldwide and the largest vertically integrated aluminium company in India. Today we are a metals powerhouse with high-end rolling capabilities and a global footprint in 13 countries. Our consolidated turnover of USD 15.85 billion (Rs. 72,078 crore) places us in the Fortune 500 league. Hindalco's businesses Creating superior value Hindalco is one of the leading producers of aluminium and copper. Our aluminium units across the globe encompass the entire gamut of operations, from bauxite mining, alumina refining and aluminium smelting to downstream rolling, extrusions, foils, along with captive power plants and coal mines. Our copper unit, Birla Copper, produces copper cathodes, continuous cast copper rods and other by-products, such as gold, silver and DAP fertilisers. Our units are ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001 certified. Several units have gone a step further with an integrated management system (IMS), combining ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 into one business excellence model. We have been accorded the Star Trading House status in India. Hindalco's aluminium metal is accepted for delivery under the High Grade Aluminium Contract on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Our copper quality standards are also internationally recognised and registered on the LME with Grade A accreditation. Aluminium Hindalco's major products include standard and speciality grade aluminas and hydrates, aluminium ingots, billets, wire rods, flat rolled products, extrusions and foil. The integrated facility at Renukoot houses an alumina refinery and an aluminium smelter, along with facilities for the production of semi-fabricated products, namely, redraw rods, flat rolled products and extrusions. The plant is backed by a cogeneration power unit and a 742 MW captive power plant at Renusagar to ensure the continuous supply of power for smelter and other operations. A strong presence across the value chain and synergies between operations has given us a dominant share in the value-added products market. As a step towards expanding the market for value-added products and services, we have launched

various brands in recent years Everlast roofing sheets, Freshwrapp kitchen foil and Freshpakk semi-rigid containers. Copper Birla Copper, Hindalcos copper unit, is located at Dahej in Gujarat, India. The unit has the unique distinction of being the largest single-location copper smelter in the world. The smelter uses state-of-the-art technology and has a capacity of 500,000 tpa.

Birla Copper also produces precious metals, fertilisers and sulphuric and phosphoric acid. The unit has captive power plants for continuous power generation and a captive jetty to facilitate logistics and transportation.

Birla Copper upholds its longstanding reputation for quality copper cathodes and continuous cast copper rods by assuring its management processes meet the highest standards. It has acquired certifications such as ISO-9001:2000 (Quality Management Systems), ISO-14001:2004 (Environmental Management System) and OHSAS18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems).

Mines Hindalco acquired two Australian copper mines, Nifty and Mt. Gordon, in 2003. The Birla Nifty copper mine consists of an underground mine, heap leach pads and a solvent extraction and electrowinning (SXEW) processing plant, which produces copper cathode. The Mt. Gordon copper operation consists of an underground mine and a copper concentrate plant. Until recently, the operation produced copper cathode through the ferric leach process. In 2004, a copper concentrator was commissioned to provide concentrate for use at Hindalco's operations in Dahej. During FY2009, Mt. Gordon produced 17,815 tonnes of copper in concentrate. Both Nifty and Mt. Gordon have a long-term life of mine off-take agreement with Hindalco for supply of copper concentrate to the copper smelter at Dahej. Our well-crafted growth and integration hinges on the three cornerstones of cost competitiveness, quality and global reach. We are also committed to the triple bottom line accountability of economic, environment and social factors. Care for the community around our operating units is best exemplified by our deep-rooted social commitment.

The expansion at Muri has resulted in alumina production going up by over 100 per cent at muri Winning smilestouching hearts Long before corporate social responsibility found a place in the corporate lexicon, it was already textured into the Group's value system. As early as the 1940s, the late Mr. G.D. Birla espoused the trusteeship concept of management investing a portion of the company's profits for the larger good of society. The late Mr. Aditya Birla went beyond chequebook philanthropy when he brought in the concept of 'sustainable livelihood'. For over 50 years, Hindalco has worked in the hinterlands of India to better the quality of life of the underprivileged sections of society. Today, we reach out to millions of people in the villages, of whom more than 60 per cent live below the poverty line. Their needs include: access to water, agriculture and sustainable livelihood, healthcare, and education. These four areas form the focus of our efforts. The company also works to bring about social reform through widow re-marriage and dowerless marriages. We work in partnership with government agencies and the beneficiaries to provide these necessities and encourage social reform.
