  • Aluminium Sector Analysis Report

    Aluminium Sector Analysis Report

    Aluminium Sector Analysis Report The most commercially mined aluminium ore is bauxite, as it has the highest content of the base metal. The primary aluminium production process consists of three stages. First is mining of bauxite, followed by refining of bauxite to alumina and finally smelting of alumina to aluminium. India has the fifth largest bauxite reserves with deposits of about 3 bn tonnes or 5% of world deposits. India's share in world aluminium capacity rests at about 3%. Production of 1 tonne of aluminium requires 2 tonnes of alumina while production of 1 tonne of alumina requires 2 to 3 tonnes of bauxite. The aluminium production process can be categorised into upstream and downstream activities. The upstream process involves mining and refining while the downstream process involves smelting and casting & fabricating. Downstream-fabricated products consist of rods, sheets, extrusions and foils. Power is amongst the largest cost component in manufacturing of aluminium, as the production involves electrolysis. Consequently, manufacturers are located near cheap and abundant sources of electricity such as hydroelectric power plants. Alternatively, they could set up captive power plants, which is the pattern in India. Indian manufacturers are the lowest cost producers of the base metal due to access to captive power, cheap labour and proximity to abundant supply of raw material, i.e., bauxite. The Indian aluminium sector is characterised by large integrated players like Hindalco and National Aluminium Company (Nalco). The other producers of primary aluminium include Indian Aluminium (Indal), now merged with Hindalco, and Sterlite Industries. The per capita consumption of aluminium in India continues to remain abysmally low at1.2 kg as against nearly 15 to 18 kgs in the western world and 10 kgs in China.

Noonudih Mouza (Area: 73.68 ha ) & Jitpur Mouza (Area: 87.31 ha). Both these Mouzas have been granted lease for 991 years w.e.f 22/05/1901 & 991 years w.e.f 28/05/1902 respectively. Jitpur Colliery Colliery consists of one underground mine only. Coal from Jitpur Colliery is being transported by ropeway to Chasnalla Washery for washing. Detailed exploration was conducted by drilling 21 exploratory bore holes in 1950s. Further, in 1959, five underground boreholes were drilled from XVI seam floor. The detailed geological investigations in the proposed mine has established the presence of 8 No.

Resource geography Recent data, however, make it clear that growing coal consumption in India coupled with its continued use in Energy transition China keeps coal-based energy at 40 percent of the world’s heat and power generation. To address the consol­ Coal energy infrastructure idation of coal-based power in India, this article analyses an energy transition to, rather than away from, carbon- Energy security intensive energy over the past two decades. We term this transition India’s new coal geography; the new coal India geography comprises new ports and thermal power plants run by private-sector actors along the coastline and fuelled by imported coal. This geography runs parallel to, yet is distinct from, India’s ‘old’ coal geography, which was based on domestic public-sector coal mining and thermal power generation.

Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 THAILAND Webpage: www.ohseinstitute.org Sanjiv Pandita, Asia Monitor Resource Centre 1 Introduction An occupational health and safety needs assessment exercise was carried out by Asia Monitor Resource Centre (AMRC), South Asian Research and Development Initiative (SARDI) and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in collaboration with the Indian National Mine Workers Federation (affiliated to the INTUC) on behalf of the Asian Workers Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Institute (OSHEI). The exercise was carried out in the coal mining region of Dhanbad, Jharkhand state (previously part of Bihar) in India. The aims of this exercise were to: • assess the overall heath and safety situation in the coal mines of Dhanbad1; • assess the role of government and the employer in providing the safe and healthy environment for the workers and the actual situation at ground level; • assess the present capacity and infrastructure of the trade unions with respect to occupational heath and safety and if there is any need/scope for improvement; • assess the present Mining Laws and Regulations; • present a set of recommendations on how trade unions can improve their capacity to work with government and employers to further develop working and living conditions of miners and specific sectors where trade unions may need help and support.
