Hindalco Industries has issued a formal clarification denying a recent media report alleging a halt in aluminium product sales due to geopolitical conflict. The company confirmed that its Aluminium Extrusions business operations have not ceased. The communication to customers was a routine Force Majeure notice related to gas supply disruption, impacting less than 0.1% of overall company operations. All Primary Aluminium and other Downstream/Upstream activities continue to run normally.
Official Denial of Incorrect Media Report
On March 15, 2026, Hindalco Industries Limited released a mandatory disclosure to address a news article published in mainstream media titled ‘Hindalco halts aluminium product sales amid Iran war.’ The company emphatically states that the claims made in the article are factually incorrect and misleading.
Clarification on Extrusions Business Communication
Hindalco confirmed that operations within its Aluminium Extrusions business segment have not been halted. The communication sent to customers of this segment was a routine business intimation based on a Force Majeure declaration issued by certain gas suppliers concerning a potential disruption. The company stressed that the Extrusions segment represents only a small portion of Hindalco’s total production capacity.
Limited Operational Impact
The potential impact stemming from this gas supply issue is currently estimated to be limited to less than 0.1% of the Company’s overall operations. Furthermore, Hindalco assures stakeholders that all other operations, including Primary Aluminium production and all Downstream and Upstream activities, are continuing to operate normally, supported by the company’s captive power and alternate energy arrangements.
Commitment to Disclosure
Hindalco affirmed its commitment to promptly make any future disclosures required under the relevant listing regulations. The complete clarification is available for public dissemination on the company website, www.hindalco.com.
