Growing application of aluminium in automobile industry has not only increased fuel efficiency but also reduced the vehicular pollution, said Nalco Chairman and Managing Director T. K. Chand.
“While the developed countries use on an average 140 kg of aluminium per vehicle, in India it is about 40 kg only. Nevertheless, by 2016, the use of this lightweight metal in auto sector in India is expected to go up by at least three times,” said Mr. Chand, on the sidelines an Auto Fest here on Friday.
