The Future of Aluminium Takes Shape in India: ICSOBA 2026 to Bring the Global Industry Together
One of the most prestigious and long-standing international events in the aluminium industry, ICSOBA 2026 (International Committee for Study of Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium), will take place from 15–20 November 2026 in Bengaluru, India. Bringing together industry leaders, researchers, academics, technology providers, and professionals from around the world, the conference will serve as a key platform for discussing the future direction of the global aluminium sector.

Covering the entire aluminium value chain—from bauxite mining and alumina refining to primary aluminium production and recycling technologies—ICSOBA 2026 will provide a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange, innovation, and international collaboration. Through a comprehensive program of technical sessions and presentations, participants will explore the latest developments in sustainable production technologies, energy efficiency, carbon reduction strategies, digital transformation, artificial intelligence applications, and circular economy solutions.

As the global aluminium industry accelerates its transition toward carbon-neutral production, low-carbon aluminium technologies are expected to be among the conference’s most important topics. Industry experts and leading companies will present innovative approaches aimed at reducing environmental impact while improving productivity and competitiveness across the value chain.

A highlight of the event will be the technical tours organized in cooperation with Hindalco Industries, one of the world’s leading aluminium producers. Participants will have the opportunity to visit advanced alumina refining and aluminium production facilities, gaining firsthand insight into state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and operational best practices.

More than a technical conference, ICSOBA 2026 represents a global meeting point for shaping the future of the aluminium industry. By bringing together innovative ideas, breakthrough technologies, and strategic partnerships, the event will contribute to the advancement of a more sustainable, efficient, and competitive aluminium sector. As the industry continues to evolve, ICSOBA 2026 is already being recognized as one of the most important aluminium gatherings of the year.
