On a month-on-month basis, the price stood up by around US$ 110 per tonne from 2,341 per tonne and on year by about US$ 797.50 per tonne from US$ 1,543.50 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.
