RUSAL, a major global aluminium producer, exhibited its low-carbon aluminium range at the first INNOPROM India trade show held in New Delhi from September 9 to 11, 2026. The company highlighted its ALLOW brand, which is made using renewable hydropower, and discussed supply chain collaboration with Indian partners. The event also included talks on critical minerals and India-Russia industrial cooperation. The company says it aims to strengthen resilient and sustainable aluminium supply chains for India. No specific emissions figures or tonnage commitments were disclosed in the press release. RUSAL claims to be the world's largest producer of low-carbon aluminium, with 5.3% of global aluminium output in 2025. More detail on the actual carbon intensity or verification standards would help assess the claim.

Low-carbon aluminium is a real niche, but this press release is light on specifics. No carbon intensity numbers, no verification standard. Just hydropower and ALLOW branding.

The India angle matters more than the booth. RUSAL wants a foothold in India's aluminium market, which is growing fast. But 'sustainable supply chain' needs actual energy mix data for their Indian operations.

The term 'low-carbon' gets thrown around a lot. Without a methodology or third-party audit, it is just marketing. If India starts enforcing carbon border adjustments, they will need real numbers.

Industrial buyers care about price and reliability first. If RUSAL can deliver low-carbon aluminium at competitive cost, good. But this piece reads like a trade show recap, not a technical pitch.

Hydropower-based aluminium is better than coal-based, but hydropower has its own environmental and social costs. Would like to see RUSAL address that, not just tout the renewable label.
