Bargwan aluminium plant — India
Aluminium Smelter in India. Approximate location 24.23081, 82.43657.
Aluminium SmelterIndiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Bargwan aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in India. Its listed capacity is 360,000 t of alumina/aluminum. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment. It is operated by Hindalco Industries Ltd. By capacity it ranks #10 among 20 aluminium smelters in India. It emits about 696,046 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.14% of the CO₂e from the 297 facilities in India that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 7% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 360,000 t of alumina/aluminum, Bargwan aluminium plant is around the median aluminium smelter in India (360,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Subsector: aluminum. As aluminium smelter, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Aluminium smelters use large electric currents to refine alumina into molten aluminium above 900°C, and the hot metal must flow through crucibles and casting equipment.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 696k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Bargwan aluminium plant carries no domestic carbon price — and as a CBAM-covered product, its 696k t at the EU CBAM rate (€75/t) is €52.5M/yr of exposure on EU-bound exports. CBAM share rises from 2.5% (2026) to 100% by 2034. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Local climate
Bargwan aluminium plant sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate zone (Köppen Cwa), at 24.2°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1244 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.96× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
