Nalco's alumina exports to West Asia affected due to geopolitical tensions, says CMD

Geopolitical tensions in West Asia have impacted National Aluminium Company Ltd's (Nalco) exports, which previously accounted for 40-50% of its alumina shipments. This disruption, coupled with a shift in export destinations, has led to a decline in global spot alumina prices to USD 305-310 per tonne. Smelters in West Asia are operating at reduced capacity, further influencing market prices.
