Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, announced that it has cumulatively secured a total of 18 BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certifications across its smelter operations at Jharsuguda, Odisha, home to the world’s largest aluminium plant and Korba, Chhattisgarh, where Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO), India’s iconic aluminium producer, is located. These certifications, earned progressively over time, reaffirm Vedanta Aluminium’s position at the forefront of quality, reliability and regulatory compliance in the industry.
Vedanta Aluminium was the first in the Indian aluminium industry to secure certification for its large range of aluminium products as per available BIS quality standards. The most recent certification has been achieved by its unit BALCO and covers Aluminium Alloy Wire Rods under IS 9997:2023. This strengthens Vedanta Aluminium’s ability to supply high-performance materials for India’s power grids, automotive sectors and advanced engineering applications.

These Alloy Redraw Rods are engineered for demanding applications where strength, conductivity and durability are critical. Certified under IS 9997:2023, they are purpose-built for overhead transmission lines, automotive wiring systems and welding wires, supporting industries that power India’s growth and modernisation.

Commenting on this achievement, Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “Quality and innovation are the twin pillars of Vedanta Aluminium’s growth strategy. Our goal is to achieve 90% share of value-added products in our portfolio, and we are investing significantly in capacity expansions and technology upgrades to make this a reality. These BIS certifications are a testament to our focus on delivering products that meet the highest standards of reliability and performance, supporting India’s journey towards advanced infrastructure and sustainable manufacturing.”

Rajesh Kumar, CEO & Director, BALCO, said, “At BALCO, we remain committed to delivering high-quality products that not only drive the nation’s progress but also build a stronger and sustainable future for all. This new BIS certification reflects our holistic approach to quality, where rigorous checks, disciplined processes and a culture of excellence, ensuring that every product we deliver contributes to building a stronger, sustainable future for India.”
