Jindal Aluminium Limited, India's largest Aluminium extrusion company, has received the AS 9100D Aerospace certification (based on and including ISO 9001:2015), recognising the company as a qualified extrusion manufacturer for the aviation, space, and defence industry.

After completing a two-stage stringent audit process, the prestigious accreditation was awarded to its Bangalore facility by M/s NVT Services, one of India's top aerospace certification agencies. The certification process commenced in January 2023, and Jindal Aluminium received the certificate in June 2023, demonstrating the company's commitment to meeting the rigorous standards of the aerospace and defence industry.

The aerospace and defence industry strongly emphasises safety and quality, with standardisation and thorough research being crucial factors. The sector requires a pre-requisite for qualifying as an aerospace and defence material supplier to companies or partners in the aerospace segment. This certification is a testimony to standards accepted worldwide and practices the company has been implementing, marking it as a substantial development. Developed jointly by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the European Association of Aerospace Industries, AS9100D has become a benchmark for ensuring exceptional quality in aviation, space and defence manufacturing and supply chain processes.

Commenting on the occasion, Pragun Khaitan, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, said, "We are excited to achieve the AS9100D certification, a significant accomplishment for Jindal Aluminium. It will pave the way for our strategic expansion plans, consolidate our domestic and international reach in the industry and meet the rigorous quality standards demanded by the growing aviation, space and defence segment."
