India’s rapidly growing power sector is driving high demand for transformer components, especially aluminium strip and foil for winding applications. As local manufacturers scale up, they are looking abroad for competitive pricing and consistent quality. Here’s what Indian buyers need to know when sourcing transformer aluminium strip in 2025.

Why Aluminium Strip Is Preferred in India

In the Indian transformer industry, aluminium has become the material of choice for distribution transformers due to:

• Lower cost than copper
• Lightweight and easier handling
• Good electrical conductivity with high purity aluminium (≥99.6%)
• Support from BIS and IS standards

From 11 kV to 132 kV dry-type transformers, aluminium winding foil is widely used across India’s urban and rural grid systems.

Popular Aluminium Grades and Sizes in India

The most common grades imported into India include:

• 1060-O – High conductivity, excellent bending properties
• 1350-O – Preferred for high-purity and performance-focused windings
• 8011-H24 – Used in foil insulation coating

Typical specifications:

• Thickness: 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm
• Width: 20 mm to 1600 mm (slitted)
• Edge: Round, deburred or straight cut
• Insulation: Kraft paper, epoxy coating, or bare

Aluminium Strip Price Trends in India

Prices for aluminium winding strip in India are influenced by:

• LME aluminium base price
• Customs duty & GST (18%)
• Shipping and inland transport costs

Compared to domestic prices, many Indian buyers find that importing from China—especially for large volumes—offers significant savings while meeting technical standards.
