The aluminium industry in India is more than a base metals sector; it is a strategic arm of the engineering exports ecosystem. With the increasing global demand for lightweight metals that are durable and energy efficient, aluminum has now become a vital input into the transportation sector, packaging, construction, and renewable energy. For India, that means huge export potential—specifically to the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. 

But through how much opportunity we see, global trade dynamics have been changing much faster. The latest U.S. tariff proclamation under Section 232 has put aluminum products back under scrutiny, increasing duties from 10 to 25 percent on a wide range of items. Urgent questions arise about India’s competitiveness, trade strategy, and innovation in the domestic market.

India’s Aluminium Export Snapshot: Key Data & Trends

The latest situation on export statistics indicates that India, in 2023, after tariff barriers, has become one of the top 10 aluminum suppliers to the U.S. with a share of 3.2%.

In the year 2023, India has emerged and continues to remain one of the top 10 aluminum suppliers to the US after tariff barriers, with a 3.2% share in the total aluminum supplied in the US.

The following figures indicate a decrease in the value of exports by 25.6% from the previous year, 2022.

Table: US Aluminium Imports-—Top Suppliers The data on US aluminum imports for the year 2022 and the first five months of 2023 demonstrates the following trend.

During that year of 2022, imports from Canada reached the highest level at $12.94 billion.

Meanwhile, estimates for the Canadian number during the first five months of 2023 stand at $11.22 billion and have a share of 39.7% for the period.

 Impact of 25% Tariff on Indian Aluminium Exports

Under the new U.S. tariff measures effective March 2025, all aluminum products—raw, semi-finished, and derivatives—are now subject to a flat 25% duty, with all prior exclusions removed.

Product CategoryIndia’s Avg. Export to USA (2019–2023, US$ Mn)USA’s Avg. Import (US$ Mn)India’s Share (%)
Aluminium Ingots264.410,944.12.4%
Aluminium Long Products133.12,397.95.6%
Aluminium Derivatives1,157.869,659.91.7%
Flat Rolled Aluminium47.03,765.31.2%
Fabricated Aluminium Products151.16,071.32.5%

Despite tariffs, India has held its ground in long products with the aluminum manufacturing business, having a market share of over 5.6%, indicating strong competitiveness. However, cost burdens may now hinder further growth unless alternate strategies are developed.

 U.S. Shift to Scrap Recycling: Threat or Opportunity?

While the U.S. is investing in aluminum scrap recycling—secondary production rose 5% last year—it still cannot bridge the demand-supply gap.

Table: USA Aluminium Supply Deficit (2023, in KT)

CategoryConsumptionProductionDeficit
Billet4,774784-3,990
Wire Rod2,4561,573-883
Aluminium Wire404144-260

This imbalance keeps doors open for Indian exporters, especially in billets and wire rods.
