Aluminum production at Apple-standard quality planned by Hindalco in Andhra Pradesh

In a significant move to boost the electronics industry, the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, during a meeting held at Amaravati on Thursday, approved proposals by Hindalco Industries Ltd and Syrma SGS Technology Ltd.

The State Cabinet has agreed to allot 26.70 acres of land for Hindalco's proposed aluminum Extrusion Facility, which is expected to make Andhra Pradesh an important player in the global electronics supply chain.
