NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 31, 2026-- Ducon Technologies (“Ducon”), a global leader in material handling and environmental solutions, today announced a positive outlook for its alumina handling projects business segment, driven by strong global and domestic industry fundamentals.

The alumina industry is poised for sustained growth, with global consumption projected to reach approximately 162 million tons by 2035. This expansion is being fueled by rising demand for lightweight aluminum in automotive and aerospace applications, as well as accelerating demand for high-purity alumina, a critical material used in electronics, LEDs, and lithium-ion batteries.

Recent geopolitical developments have also underscored the strategic importance of resilient supply chains. Iranian missile and drone strike on major aluminum facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates —including Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) and an Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) —have raised concerns over potential disruptions to global aluminum supply. These events are expected to accelerate investments in capacity expansion and infrastructure diversification across other regions, including India.

India is rapidly emerging as a significant global player in the alumina sector, supported by ongoing capacity expansions and substantial investments in refining infrastructure to process domestic bauxite resources. This structural shift is expected to generate increased demand for advanced material handling, storage, and transportation systems—areas where Ducon has deep expertise and a long-standing track record.

With roots dating back to the 1960s, Ducon has established itself as a trusted supplier of engineered material handling systems for alumina, fly ash, coal, pet coke, and other bulk materials. The company has delivered numerous installations worldwide, covering complete solutions for alumina handling, storage, and transportation.

In India, Ducon has successfully executed and commissioned several key alumina-related projects for leading industry players, including:

• Utkal Alumina International Limited, Rayagada – Alumina Handling & Wagon Loading System
• Hindalco Industries Ltd. (Mahan Aluminium Project, Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh) – Bath Recycling System and Alumina Unloading & Transport System
• Hindalco Industries Ltd. (Aditya Aluminium Project, Sambalpur, Odisha) – Bath Recycling System and Alumina Unloading & Transport System
• Vedanta Limited, Lanjigarh Refinery – Alumina Handling System
• National Aluminum Company Limited (NALCO), Damanjodi & Vizag Port – Alumina Handling System & Wagon Loading System

Commenting on the outlook, Aron Govil, CEO of the company said, “We are witnessing a strong pipeline of opportunities in the alumina sector, both in India and globally. Our decades of experience, proven execution capabilities, and installed base with marquee clients position us well to capitalize on the next phase of growth in this segment.”

Ducon remains committed to delivering high-efficiency, reliable, and environmentally sustainable material handling solutions to support the evolving needs of the global alumina and aluminum industries.
