India is one of the world's largest aluminium producers, with integrated players like Hindalco, Vedanta and Nalco shipping primary metal and products worldwide. For European buyers it is a scaled, competitively priced non-EU source.
The panel below pulls the latest official figures from Eurostat: how many tonnes of unwrought aluminium the EU imported from India in the most recent reported month, the total value, the implied customs unit value in euros per tonne (a declared trade average, not the LME price), the year-on-year change, and India's share of all the aluminium the EU imports from outside the bloc.
Why the tariff matters here
India has no comprehensive trade agreement with the EU yet (negotiations are ongoing), so Indian unwrought aluminium enters at the standard 3% (not alloyed) or 6% (alloys) most-favoured-nation duty — a cost gap versus tariff-free EEA origins like Norway. Indian metal also has CBAM exposure for eligible 2026 imports; certificate purchasing begins in February 2027. Those factors, alongside the headline price, shape where European buyers place volume.
