Description

A comprehensive introduction to three of India's most economically significant industries — aluminium, steel, and sugar — this book provides students, researchers, and professionals with an authoritative, up-to-date overview of each sector.

Covering the full value chain from raw material extraction to finished product, the book examines the metallurgy of aluminium production (Bayer Process, Hall-Héroult electrolysis), the various steel manufacturing processes (Basic Oxygen Furnace, Electric Arc Furnace, heat treatment, ferroalloys), and the sugar production process from sugarcane cultivation to crystallisation and refining.

The book profiles the key public sector undertakings (PSUs) and private companies operating in each sector, including NALCO, Hindalco Industries, Vedanta, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), Tata Steel, JSW Steel, and major sugar conglomerates. It maps the principal raw material deposits — bauxite reserves in Odisha, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh; iron ore in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Karnataka; sugarcane cultivation in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka — and identifies the locations of major processing plants.

Chapters on government policy examine the National Steel Policy 2017, the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme, Mining and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act reforms, and the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) mechanism. Final chapters address environmental sustainability — red mud management, carbon emissions in steelmaking, water use in sugar production — and future industry trends including green aluminium, hydrogen-DRI steelmaking, and integrated biorefineries.

Suitable as a reference text for students of economics, geography, industrial engineering, and business studies, as well as for professionals in government, finance, and manufacturing seeking a reliable sector overview.
