Hindalco Terminates AluChem Acquisition Due to Prolonged Closing Delays
Hindalco Industries Ltd has terminated its proposed USD 125 million acquisition of US-based AluChem Companies Inc due to prolonged closing delays beyond both parties' control.

AluChem will operate independently, serving customers across the specialty alumina value chain as it has for nearly five decades.
