Dear Mr. Decker:
Novelis Inc. (the “Company”) acknowledges receipt of the staff’s letter dated January 30, 2013 regarding the Company’s above-captioned filings (the “January 30 Comment Letter”). The January 30 Comment Letter requests a response within ten business days. As discussed with Ms. Nudrat Salik, the Company has requested additional time to complete its response to the January 30 Comment Letter until March 1, 2013. The Company is currently preparing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, which requires substantial time and resources from the individuals at the Company who will also be involved in developing the responses to the January 30 Comment Letter. Therefore, as discussed with Ms. Salik, to ensure the Company’s responses to the January 30 Comment Letter reflect the input of all necessary personnel and are appropriate and complete, the Company will file its response by March 1, 2013.
Regards,

/s/ Keith M. Townsend
