Overall, when the first quarter was a washout for most companies, Jindal Aluminium Ltd. (JAL), a leading aluminium extrusion company, witnessed rising demand from ventilator manufacturers as the spread of COVID-19 necessitated the use of this vital equipment at hospitals to save the lives of critical patients. However, the overall demand scenario remained muted, said Pragun Jindal Khaitan, vice chairman and managing director of the 3000 crore manufacturer of aluminium extrusions and aluminium flat-rolled products. The upsurge in the manufacturing of ventilators triggered by COVID-19 cases led to a new segment demand of aluminium extrusions. These aluminium extruded products support functions of a ventilator in one way or the other. Approximately, we [have] supplied more than 100 MT of these products till now. From here, as the economy opens, we only see an increase in demand.
