Ducon Technologies has announced a positive outlook for its alumina handling projects business, supported by strong global demand trends and expanding domestic capacity in India. The global alumina market is expected to witness sustained growth in the coming years, with consumption projected to reach nearly 162 million tonnes by 2035. This growth is being driven by rising demand for lightweight aluminium across sectors such as automotive and aerospace, along with increasing usage of high-purity alumina in electronics, LED lighting, and lithium-ion batteries.
Recent geopolitical developments have further highlighted the importance of diversified and resilient supply chains. Disruptions at key aluminium production facilities in the Middle East have raised concerns about supply stability, prompting countries to accelerate investments in refining capacity and infrastructure. India is emerging as a key beneficiary of this shift.
With abundant bauxite reserves and ongoing investments in refining capacity, India is strengthening its position in the global alumina value chain. This expansion is expected to create significant demand for advanced material handling, storage, and transportation systems.
Ducon, with decades of experience in engineered bulk material handling solutions, is well positioned to capitalise on this opportunity. The company has delivered a wide range of systems for alumina, fly ash, coal, and other bulk materials, establishing a strong presence across global markets.
In India, Ducon has successfully executed major projects for leading industry players. These include installations at Utkal Alumina International Limited in Odisha, multiple projects for Hindalco Industries in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, Vedanta Limited’s Lanjigarh refinery, and National Aluminium Company Limited across its Damanjodi and Vizag facilities.
Aron Govil, Chief Executive Officer, said the company is seeing a robust pipeline of opportunities in both domestic and international markets. He emphasised that Ducon’s proven execution capabilities and long-standing relationships with leading clients position it well for the next phase of industry growth.
Ducon continues to focus on delivering efficient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the alumina and aluminium industries. With favourable market dynamics and increasing infrastructure investments, the company expects its alumina handling segment to remain a key growth driver in the years ahead.
