Bhubaneswar: Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, announced that the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has certified its 12 mm wire rods, produced at its Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) facility in Korba, Chhattisgarh.
The newly certified 12 mm aluminium wire rods have diverse applications, primarily in electrical and power transmission, owing to their excellent conductivity, lightweight nature, and durability.
Vedanta Aluminium was the first company in the Indian aluminium industry to secure BIS certification for its extensive range of aluminium products. This latest certification is a testament to the company’s commitment to unmatched product quality and continuous innovation in the aluminium industry.
Alongside the new BIS certification of 12 mm wire rods, BIS has re-certified six additional product categories: EC Ingots, Alloy Ingots, Primary Ingots, Rolled Sheets, Rolled Conductor Plates, and Rolled Plates for general engineering purposes – all of which are produced at the company’s BALCO facility. With these certifications, Vedanta’s BALCO unit now holds seven BIS certifications covering a total of 17 products, giving the company a significant edge in the market.
Vedanta’s aluminium products are also registered with the London Metal Exchange (LME), an undisputed testimony to their international quality standards. The company has been proactively seeking BIS certifications to further boost Indian customers’ confidence that the aluminium they buy is certified by the country’s highest authority on quality standards.
To achieve this, Vedanta Aluminium deploys some of the world’s best technologies in metal manufacturing, uses sophisticated processes, conducts deep R&D, and works with emerging-tech start-ups and experts from around the world.
