Hindalco commissions greenfield Superfine PPT ATH manufacturing plant in Karnataka

27 Aug 2026 Evaluate

Hindalco Industries has commissioned a greenfield Superfine PPT ATH (Precipitated Aluminium Trihydrate) manufacturing plant in Belagavi, Karnataka, bringing domestic production of this high-value specialty alumina product to India for the first time. The new facility, with an annual production capacity of 30,000 tonnes, strengthens the company’s Specialty Alumina portfolio and advances the country’s journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat in critical fire-safety applications. The facility is also the world’s only speciality alumina plant to operate entirely on renewable energy, setting a global benchmark for sustainable manufacturing. 

PPT ATH is a high-value, halogen-free flame-retardant material used in Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) cables, polymer insulators, thermal insulation, composites and paints. In applications such as cables, it helps suppress flame propagation and smoke generation without releasing halogen acid gases, supporting safer electrical and infrastructure systems. Demand is growing with stricter fire-safety standards, rising EV and infrastructure adoption, and the shift towards sustainable, high-performance materials. 

Further, BIS has introduced IS 17048:2018 for HFFR cables, aligning Indian standards with global safety benchmarks and supporting wider adoption across infrastructure, electrical and mobility applications. Against this backdrop, the plant’s Phase 1 capacity of 30,000 tonnes per annum is designed to meet almost the entire domestic demand for safer cables from the wire and cable industry, an important step in self-reliance for this critical material. The facility is designed for phased expansion to 60,000 tonnes, enabling the company to scale capacity in line with domestic market growth.

Hindalco Industries is an industry leader in aluminium and copper. The company’s aluminium units across the country encompass the entire gamut of operations from bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting to downstream rolling, extrusions, foils and alloy wheels, along with captive power plants and coal mines.
