NALCO links its aluminium ingot and aluminium products prices to the three-month futures of aluminium on the London Metal Exchange, which from January 24 to 28 moved up by US$65.50 per tonne to settle at US$3,110 per tonne. That brought the price to a month-on-month hike of nearly US$275 per tonne from US$2,835 per tonne.

NALCO’s aluminium products and alumina account for nearly two-thirds of the company’s gross topline, while the sales of chemicals contribute to the rest. NALCO manufactures wire rods, billets, coils, and chequered sheets.
