Hindalco Industries has commissioned a new aluminium bicycle component manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, strengthening its presence in the mobility sector. The plant will serve both domestic and international markets and produce aluminium bicycle frames, rigid forks, wheel rims, handlebars and other lightweight components. Equipped with advanced manufacturing and finishing technologies, the facility is expected to produce approximately 500,000 bicycle frames and forks, 750,000 handlebars and 800,000 pairs of wheel rims annually. The investment aligns with Hindalco’s strategy to expand its portfolio of value-added aluminium products and increase its focus on mobility applications. The company continues to diversify beyond primary aluminium into higher-value segments, including flat-rolled products, extrusions, aluminium foils and aerospace-grade aluminium alloys, supporting growing demand for lightweight and sustainable transportation solutions.
