Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: CRISIL Ltd.
Published: September 2007
Product Code: R3543-7
Description
Aluminium prices have been on an uptrend since April 2006, leading to high profitability of domestic aluminium players. Whether the uptrend in prices will sustain?

In such a situation, critical questions arise are:
  • What is the outlook on aluminium global demand-supply balance?
  • What would happen to the primary aluminium prices?
  • What is the quantum of capacity addition in the next five years, globally as well as
  • domestic?
  • How would domestic consumption grow in the next five years and thus how much of the
  • capacities would be utilized by domestic consumption?
  • Would India be able to export the surplus?
  • How would margins move in the next 1-2 years?
Who will benefit:
  • Investment Managers
  • Venture Capitalists
  • Management Consultants
  • Research Companies
  • Private Equity Managers
  • Market intermediates
  • Banks
  • Aluminium Industry participants
  • Analyst
  • Other Industry Professionals
