While I appreciate Birla's global vision, I hope they're also investing equally in India's infrastructure and manufacturing. We need more 'Make in India' success stories alongside international expansions.

The $4 billion Alabama project is massive! Shows how Indian companies are becoming global players. But will this affect Hindalco's operations in India? Hope domestic customers don't get neglected.

Good to see focus on low-carbon aluminium. Climate change is a global issue and Indian companies leading in sustainable manufacturing makes me proud. Hope they bring this tech back to India too!

The US-India partnership is growing stronger in trade, defense and now business investments. This is the right time for such collaborations, especially when we need to counter China's economic influence.

I wonder how much tax revenue India is losing when big companies invest abroad instead of here. Government should create more incentives to keep investments at home while allowing global growth.
