Hindalco maintains extrusion operations

Hindalco has issued a statement that it has not halted its aluminium extrusion operations. The statement comes after news reports that the company halted aluminium product sales amid the Iran war.

“We wish to clarify that these reports are factually incorrect and misleading,” the company stated.

The communication issued to extrusion customers follows a force majeure declaration by gas suppliers and was a routine business intimation regarding a potential supply disruption in a segment of the extrusions business.

The aluminium extrusions segment constitutes a small portion of Hindalco’s production capacity, and the potential impact is currently limited to less than 0.1% of the company’s overall operations.

All other downstream and upstream operations, including primary aluminium, continue to operate normally, supported by captive power and alternate energy arrangements.
