Feb 2024 : Vedanta Aluminium announces the launch of Vedanta Metal Bazaar, an innovative new e-superstore for primary aluminium that promises to transform the way it is bought and sold in India. At launch, the superstore offers over 750-plus product variants, encompassing the extensive range of offerings from the stable of Vedanta Aluminium. It also features AI-based price discovery, offering customers unmatched value even in the face of fluctuating commodity prices. The superstore also offers customized solutions tailored to the needs of the company’s wide customer base.
Aluminium is a critical raw material for key sectors such as aerospace, automotive, building and construction, energy distribution, defence and many more. It is also crucial to emerging sectors such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, green infrastructure and hi-tech manufacturing. However, sourcing aluminium was hitherto a complex, resource-intensive process. Buyers must keep track of price movement, negotiate on multiple parameters which is often complex and time consuming, plan logistics and follow-up for financial reconciliation, often with no visibility of order delivery. Unforeseen disruptions could result in severe production and financial losses at the buyer’s end and tie up significant resources.
With a view to enhance ease of doing business for customers, Vedanta Aluminium has launched Vedanta Metal Bazaar, an innovative e-commerce platform poised to revolutionize the aluminium buying experience. It promises to simplify the entire procurement process, enabling buyers to focus on their business growth rather than wasting time on transactional follow-ups and tracking vagaries of commodity prices and order fulfilment. Vedanta Metal Bazaar empowers buyers with just-in-time delivery, real-time AI-based price discovery and end-to-end visibility of their purchase, right from order placement to delivery. This allows for robust production planning and frees up their capital for more strategic investments. It also enables customers to make informed purchase decisions based on order history, dynamic market scenarios, and competitive rates in just a few clicks.
A pioneering new platform, Vedanta Metal Bazaar has been designed from the ground up, taking into account customer expectations towards ensuring a transformative experience. Several global-first features are integrated into the platform, including product availability, online price discovery, long-term contracts, on-the-spot orders, live shipment tracking, financial reconciliation, all critical documentation (such as test certificates, bank guarantees, letters of credit) and a selection of channel finance and logistics providers for customers to choose from to aid their procurement journey. This entire experience is supported by Vedanta Aluminium’s panel of in-house experts, who will be on-hand to guide first-time users and discuss specific customization requirements. The platform has been successfully beta-tested with select clients for a year and is now being rolled out widely for all domestic buyers.

Abhishek Aggarwal, owner of Sant Aluminium, an enterprise from Alwar stated, “As a business owner seeking a hassle-free way to buy aluminium, Vedanta Metal Bazaar exceeded my expectations. The platform is easy to use and there is no limit on purchase quantity. The feedback system contributes to better planning, and the mobile app is a handy tool for on-the-go order tracking. I highly recommend Vedanta Metal Bazaar for a simple and reliable metal procurement experience.”
