SMM has learned that multiple aluminum smelters in Sichuan are gradually resuming production:
Enterprise A previously cut production by 20% of its capacity and has since gradually restarted during the Chinese New Year, with all capacity now fully operational;
Enterprise B previously cut production by 27% of its capacity and is currently in the process of resuming production, with full operation expected by the end of March;
Enterprise C previously cut production by 25% of its capacity and is currently planning to restart in batches;
Enterprise D, after a previous technological transformation, has delayed its resumption progress due to high alumina costs and is currently expected to gradually restart its remaining capacity within the week, with full operation anticipated in early March.
