History

The Hindustan Aluminium Corporation Limited was established in 1958 by the Aditya Birla Group. In 1962 the company began production in Renukoot in Uttar Pradesh making 20 thousand metric tons per year of aluminium metal and 40 thousand metric tons per year of alumina. In 1989 the company was restructured and renamed Hindalco.[8] Ramdev Singh was the first trade union leader of Hindalco Industries Limited, Renukoot.[9]

Novelis

On 11 February 2007, the company entered into an agreement to acquire the American company Novelis for US$6 billion, making the combined entity the world's largest rolled-aluminium producer.[11][better source needed] At 2007 Novelis was the world's largest producer of rolled aluminium and a major recycler of aluminium cans.[8] On 15 May 2007, the acquisition was completed with Novelis shareholders receiving $44.93 per outstanding share of common stock.

Novelis operates as an independent subsidiary with its own leadership team and remains headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It is incorporated in Delaware.

Hindalco, through its wholly owned subsidiary AV Metals Inc., acquired 75,415,536 common shares of Novelis, representing 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares. Immediately after closing, AV Metals Inc. transferred the common shares of Novelis to its wholly owned subsidiary AV Aluminum Inc. When Hindalco made this bid in 2007 this became the largest Indian investment in North America and the second-largest overseas investment by an Indian company (behind Tata Steel Europe's purchase of Corus two weeks earlier) to this time.[8]

The day after Hindalco announced the acquisition its stock fell by 13% resulting in a US$600 million drop in market capitalisation. Shareholders criticised the deal but Kumar Mangalam Birla responded that he had offered a fair price for the company and stated, "When you are acquiring a world leader you will have to pay a premium."[8]
