Indian Aluminium Stocks Rise After Norsk Hydro Cuts Alumina Production Amid Supply Concerns
Shares of Indian aluminium producers National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Hindalco Industries, and Vedanta Aluminium rose following Norsk Hydro's announcement to cut alumina production at its Alunorte refinery to 50% capacity due to a natural gas shortage. This reduction, amid global supply disruptions and Middle East tensions, has tightened alumina and aluminium markets, supporting higher prices. NALCO and Vedanta reported strong quarterly financial results, with plans for significant capital investments. Despite recent gains, some short-term stock fluctuations were noted amid broader metal market movements.
