Hindalco's Novelis Agrees to Sell Two Chinese Subsidiaries for $265 Million
Novelis Inc., a US-based aluminium producer owned by India's Hindalco Industries, has agreed to sell its two wholly owned Chinese subsidiaries for $265 million to Shenzhen Hongzhi Industrial Investment or its affiliates. The deal includes a potential earn-out of up to $10 million based on certain conditions and is expected to close within 12 months pending regulatory approvals. This divestment reflects Novelis' strategy to reduce its direct operating presence in China amid rising domestic competition and shifting global supply chains.
