<h3>Turning surplus food into meals for the needy: Chennai’s hunger champion</h3>Arun Kumar can’t bear to see food go waste – or people go hungry. That’s why he and his team at No Food Waste have made it their mission to prevent surplus food at events and weddings in Chennai from going to the trash, redistributing it instead to offer 40,000+ meals a month to those in need.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It all began when Kumar saw the three engineer-founders of No Food Waste in Coimbatore convert their shock at the mountains of food waste at weddings into positive action. Inspired by them and appalled by the large number of people who go hungry in India, Kumar founded the Chennai chapter of No Food Waste in 2018.The initial years were tough given limited funds, low awareness and few volunteers. But Kumar was passionate about feeding the needy. “India generates <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/food-news/india-turns-out-to-be-the-second-country-that-produces-78-million-tonnes-of-household-waste/articleshow/124600794.cms">78.2 million tonnes of food waste&nbsp;</a> every year,” he states, pointing to the enormity of the problem.Undeterred by obstacles, Kumar and his team of volunteers let no event in Chennai go waste today. Whenever there’s extra food at a wedding, a corporate party, school function or any other event, No Food Waste’s helpline is ready to take the call. Kumar’s team rushes in with collection vans and ensures timely and safe redistribution of the surplus food to people in shelter homes and slums. “We collect surplus food from big events and serve it to needy people across Chennai,” says Kumar. By reducing food waste, they create social impact.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>&nbsp;Extra Food From Weddings Now Feeds 40K People!</h3><div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a8HHJh14Utc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>&nbsp;And what happens if there’s no leftover food? Kumar has a solution for that as well. He has set up a community kitchen where volunteers cook 700-800 hot meals a day to feed the hungry in and around Chennai. Their collective effort has turned the Chennai chapter into No Food Waste’s busiest one in the country today.“Take one small step—share leftover food. You could be the reason someone sleeps with a full stomach tonight,” urges Kumar. He adds: “We request you to support our initiative by volunteering or becoming a part of our community. Also, we request you to donate excess food so that we can feed another person.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aditya Birla Group is proud to partner with The Better India to amplify stories of change-makers like Arun Kumar, who are shaping a better future by choosing to be <a href="/a-force-for-good/">#AForceForGood</a>

Extra Food From Weddings Now Feeds 40K People!

Sometimes, the simplest ideas create the deepest impact. For Bengaluru-based friends Nitin, Vinod, Vignesh, and Melisha, that idea was a clothes bank where anyone in need could buy clothing for just ₹1.The thought first took shape during their college days, when the group collected clothes from fellow students and distributed them on the streets. After graduation, life moved on. Careers took over, and the initiative paused. But when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, they found themselves once again face to face with hardship: migrant workers and daily wage earners struggling to survive, often without even basic clothing.&nbsp;<div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBWXTTIxBOE" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>&nbsp;Pooling their personal savings, the group launched a ₹1 clothes bank with a simple belief: help should come with dignity. Instead of giving clothes away for free, they priced them at ₹1, allowing people to choose what they wanted and walk away with their self-respect intact.The early days were filled with doubt. Would people donate clothes? Would anyone come to buy them? Would volunteers step forward? “We started collecting clothes from friends and family members initially,” says Nitin. There were days when the team went door to door collecting clothes with little help. Gradually, community support began to grow, and a resident even offered space in her apartment to run the clothes bank.Today, the space looks like a store. Shirts, saris, jackets and blankets are neatly arranged, ready to be chosen. The small amount collected from sales goes back into supporting the medical and educational needs of struggling families. So far, the initiative has helped over 25,000 people and given 3–4 lakh pieces of clothing a second life.Their message to others? “We want youth and like-minded people to come forward and contribute towards these kind of noble causes to bring a small change in our society,” says Nitin.Aditya Birla Group is proud to partner with The Better India in sharing stories of individuals who are quietly restoring dignity and compassion by choosing to be <a href="/a-force-for-good/">#AForceForGood</a>.

Rail, waterways, EVs, low-emission fuels -- through diverse measures, Aditya Birla Group companies are accelerating green logistics in line with the Group’s strong commitment to sustainability.In 2025, 15 large electric trucks started moving on a 160km route between Dahej and Asoj, the two sites of Hindalco’s Copper Business in Gujarat (India). With 55-tonne capacity each, the EV truck initiative led to the first heavy-duty electric freight corridor in the state – and a lowering of Hindalco’s carbon emission footprint. To enable this, <a href="/businesses/companies/hindalco-industries-limited/">Hindalco</a> partnered with Billion Electric Mobility, a company that specialises in e-mobility-as-a-service.Meanwhile, <a href="/businesses/sectors/cement/">UltraTech Cement</a>, the Group’s cement flagship, signed a strategic agreement with Container Corporation of India Limited (Concor) to transport bulk cement in specialised tank containers for rail. UltraTech will transport cement from its integrated units in Karnataka to a Concor terminal at Dronagiri in Maharashtra. This shift to rail-based logistics for bulk materials will reduce road transportation, and hence lower fuel consumption. The move will reduce carbon emissions of the company’s nationwide distribution network, which encompasses a 50,000+ truck fleet, 60+ daily rake movements, 1,350 warehouses, and 300+ railheads.Both Hindalco and UltraTech are exploring new ways to adopt green modes of transportation to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the Group’s decarbonisation commitment of Net Zero by 2050. And the partnerships with eBillion and Concor are only the latest steps in the pursuit of sustainable industrial logistics. &nbsp;<h3>Hindalco speeds down the green logistics corridor</h3>In the effort to be Net Zero by 2050, <a href="/businesses/sectors/metals/">Hindalco’s Aluminium and Copper businesses</a> are reducing emissions by boosting energy efficiency and shifting to low-carbon fuels. In addition, the company has targeted a 25% reduction in specific GHG emissions by FY2026-27 (over FY2011-12 as base year). It has developed a detailed charter to capture Scope 3 emissions, encompassing the entire logistics chain of inward and outward movement across rail, road and sea modes. This has enabled the precise calculation of total emissions across its entire logistics operations for targeted reduction strategies.Targeting Scope 3 emissions: As part of its goals for FY2025-26, Hindalco has targeted a 60% conversion of its fleet to green modes of transportation (including electric vehicles (EV), and vehicles running on liquid natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) as per Bharat Stage VI norms).Apart from the Gujarat green freight corridor for the Copper business, the company launched an inter-plant e-logistics corridor for the Aluminium business in Odisha. In Sambalpur district – home to several Hindalco units -- there are dedicated electric trailers powering long-haul transportation between the Aditya and Hirakud flat-rolled products (FRP) plants.<blockquote>Hindalco’s e-logistics corridor is a first-in-Odisha initiative that sets a benchmark in clean, cost-efficient and future-ready industrial logistics.</blockquote> Partners in green: To ensure a quick transition to clean alternatives even for short-haul journeys, Hindalco has collaborated with multiple OEMS and logistics service providers. For instance, a fleet of 20 EVs transports fly ash from Aditya Aluminium plant in Odisha to the UltraTech Lapanga cement plant nearby. This has reduced emissions of 3,500 tCO2e and brought savings of ₹1.5 crore in freight costs in FY2025.In the Renukoot plant in Uttar Pradesh, Hindalco uses EVs for movement of red mud. Both fly ash and red mud represent circular manufacturing as inputs for the cement industry – a key Hindalco sustainability initiative that converts manufacturing by-products and waste to wealth. Meanwhile, the company is also transitioning from diesel-based material handling equipment (MHE) to electric MHEs. In addition, it plans to introduce EVs in its mining operations.Even where conventional fuels are in use, Hindalco is switching to low-emission LNG. The company partnered with a green freight transportation company in 2025 to integrate LNG-powered trucks into its logistics solutions. LNG trucks have significantly lower emissions than traditional diesel trucks with lower levels of nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and greenhouse gases. In FY25, Hindalco reduced 16 tCO2e of emissions by deploying four LNG vehicles on key routes. &nbsp;<h3>UltraTech cements green logistics into its sustainability strategy</h3>Like Hindalco, UltraTech is decarbonising mobility as part of its sustainability strategy. Apart from low-emission rail networks for bulk movement of cement with Concor, the company has emerged as a key user of inland waterways for sustainable transportation.Leveraging waterways: In an innovative and pioneering pilot project that supported the Indian government’s Maritime India Vision 2030, UltraTech became the first cement company in India to scale up the use of National Waterway1 (Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly River system).<blockquote>UltraTech Cement used National Waterway1 to transport gypsum from Haldia Port in West Bengal to Gaighat Terminal in Patna in FY2025. &nbsp;</blockquote> The pilot was enabled through key partnerships with the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) and Inland &amp; Coastal Shipping Ltd. The use of inland waterways not only improved transport efficiency and reduced the company’s emissions but also helps decongest road and rail routes. UltraTech is also one of the few cement companies in India to use captive jetties to service coastal demand.Going electric: Apart from using inland waterways, the cement major has also deployed EVs for the movement of goods across its manufacturing units. After a successful pilot with five electric trucks, the company entered a transport service contract in 2024 to deploy 100 electric trucks to transport 75,000 metric tonnes of clinker per month from its Dhar Cement Works plant in Madhya Pradesh to its grinding unit, Dhule Cement Works in Maharashtra. The Dhar-Dhule EV corridor is estimated to reduce the company’s transport emissions by 17,000 MT of CO2 annually.<blockquote>UltraTech became the first Indian cement company to use electric trucks over a long lead distance -- a 400km roundtrip route from Madhya Pradesh to Maharashtra.</blockquote> EVs are also becoming part of UltraTech’s local delivery fleet, particularly for last-mile journeys in order to reduce the carbon footprint of transporting cement and construction materials in urban and semi-urban areas. The company had a green fleet of 623 vehicles by the end of FY2025, which also included lower-emission CNG and LNG trucks.Both UltraTech and Hindalco’s efforts to decarbonise their logistics are gaining momentum as they continue to switch to greener modes of mobility by road, rail and sea. &nbsp;Also Read: <a href="/media/stories/speech-of-mr-kumar-mangalam-birla-at-hindalco-industries-annual-general-meeting/">Speech of Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla at Hindalco Industries’ Annual General Meeting</a><a href="/media/stories/chairman-mr-kumar-mangalam-birlas-speech-at-twenty-fifth-annual-general-meeting-of-ultratech-cement/">Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Speech at twenty-fifth Annual General Meeting of UltraTech Cement</a>

Big Firsts – Raising the bar again

<img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:35%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/excavator_loading_dumper_truck_on_mining_site_41447c944b.webp" alt="excavator-loading-dumper-truck-on-mining-site.webp">As India and the United States announced a landmark trade agreement, Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group, in his official statement said, “I applaud Prime Minister Modi and President Trump for today’s trade announcement. The reduced tariffs will help strengthen the strategic and economic ties between our two great countries and provide additional opportunity for investment and collaboration. Aditya Birla Group is the largest Indian investor in the U.S., and we see this agreement help shape more resilient supply chains, unlock manufacturing opportunities and drive long-term economic competitiveness in both the U.S. and India. We are committed to expanding our presence and investments in the U.S., where we see substantial opportunities for innovation, growth and enduring partnerships.”Yes, Aditya Birla Group is in the unique position of being the largest Indian greenfield investor in the world’s biggest economy. The Group was the first India-born company to go transnational. In 1969, Mr Aditya Vikram Birla set up Indo Thai Synthetics in Thailand, marking a proud post-independence moment where an Indian company expanded its footprint on the world stage. Since then, the Group has spread to 41 countries, with multiple acquisitions across metals, pulp and fibre, carbon black, cement and more.Among these, the US is a key market for the Group. The latest entrant to the Group’s portfolio was AluChem Companies, Inc, a leading US producer of Specialty Alumina. Acquired by <a href="/businesses/companies/hindalco-industries-limited/">Hindalco Industries</a> in June 2025, this milestone marks the entry of an Indian conglomerate into the ultra-low soda and tabular alumina segments—high-performance materials that are crucial to advanced industrial applications.The AluChem acquisition, which added three US facilities to the Group manufacturing footprint, further strengthened the Group’s substantial investments in the US.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>Expanding horizons in a strategic market</h3>As an economic powerhouse, the US serves as a strategic growth hub for Aditya Birla Group. “Our commitment to global expansion is driven by our pursuit of excellence and the desire to create a meaningful impact in every region we operate,” noted Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla during his media interaction up on being conferred the <a href="/media/stories/mr-kumar-mangalam-birlas-acceptance-speech-at-usispf-global-leadership-award/">Global Leadership Award</a> at the 2025 USISPF Leadership Summit in Washington, DC, in recognition of his contribution to strengthening US-India business ties. <a href="/media/stories/mr-kumar-mangalam-birlas-acceptance-speech-at-usispf-global-leadership-award/">“At Aditya Birla Group, we believe that the United States is an incredibly attractive location for long-term investment, and we are very proud to be the largest Indian investor in the US.”</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>At home in the US</h3>The Group’s first entry on US soil dates back to 2007, when Hindalco acquired Novelis, a loss-making aluminium rolling company. Today, Novelis alone has grown into an $17 billion enterprise making its mark as a world leader in aluminium recycling and circular manufacturing.In 2020, Hindalco-Novelis acquired Aleris Corporation, which catapulted its holding company, Hindalco, to one of the world’s largest aluminium companies, and added premium downstream metal capabilities, especially in high end aerospace aluminium.The $2.5 billion Bay Minette project by <a href="/businesses/companies/novelis-inc/">Novelis</a> is the first fully integrated, low-carbon recycling and rolling aluminium plant built in the United States in nearly 40 years. The highly advanced facility will have an initial 600 kilotonnes of finished aluminium goods capacity per year. More than half of the capacity of the new facility will be used to serve growing demand for aluminium beverage can sheet in North America, which is driven by consumer preference for more sustainable packaging. &nbsp;To know more about our Bay Minette project: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://novelis.com/bayminette/">https://novelis.com/bayminette/</a> &nbsp;<h3>June chemistry</h3>The month of June 2025 marked another significant US acquisition. Aditya Birla Chemicals (USA) Inc acquired <a href="/media/press-releases/aditya-birla-advanced-materials-acquires-cargills-specialty-manufacturing-facility-in-us/">Cargill</a>’s 17-acre specialty chemicals plant in Dalton, Georgia. The unit delivers tailored, high-quality solutions under its renowned Epotec® epoxy resins and CTP brands, “This acquisition represents Aditya Birla Group’s strategic entry into the US chemicals industry, extending the business model of our other successful manufacturing businesses in the United States, including Novelis and Birla Carbon,” said Mr Birla in a statement issued to the press.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>Carbon Black magic</h3>A big boost to the Group’s US presence came through Birla Carbon’s acquisition of Columbian Chemicals in 2011. Today, with two manufacturing units and a technology centre in the country, Birla Carbon is a global leader in carbon-based solutions and a front-runner in sustainable innovation.A recent partnership with Circtec brings cutting-edge recycling to the forefront, commercialising Continua™, <a href="/businesses/companies/birla-carbon/">Birla Carbon</a>’s pioneering sustainable carbonaceous material derived by recycling end-of-life tyres.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>Trading around the world</h3>The US is also a strong centre for Aditya Birla Global Trading (formerly Swiss Singapore Overseas Enterprises Pte Ltd), one of the most diversified commodities traders in the world. Present in 24 countries, the company handles 30+ different commodities across agri products, agri-inputs, energy and metals. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3>A deep commitment to sustainability</h3>What’s noteworthy is that across all its US operations, Aditya Birla Group has embedded sustainability at the core of its strategy:<ul><li>Novelis recycles over 84 billion aluminium cans annually, dramatically reducing energy consumption and emissions. In nearly four decades, the Bay Minette project is the first integrated, low-carbon aluminium recycling and rolling plant built in the US.</li><li>Birla Carbon has pledged net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and is driving innovations in sustainable material use.</li><li>Aditya Birla Chemicals is progressing toward water neutrality and reducing its overall environmental footprint.&nbsp; &nbsp;</li></ul>Not only does Aditya Birla Group stand tall as India’s largest investor in the US, its robust presence across critical sectors such as metals, carbon black and chemicals reflects not just a business expansion, but a deep commitment to innovation, sustainability, and local economic growth.

Aditya Birla Group is in the unique position of being the largest Indian greenfield investor in the world’s biggest economy.
