SHANGHAI, Apr. 29 (SMM) – Chalco reversed losses in Q1 2015 by posting a net profit of 63.07 million yuan ($10.3 million), it said in its earnings report filed to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. 
 
Although its revenues fell 22.28% from a year ago to 27.39 billion yuan, falling production costs drove the Chinese aluminum giant back into the black. Its production costs for aluminum and alumina dropped 7% and 8%, respectively, from a year ago.
 
 Besides, its efforts in rounding up product portfolio in aluminum plate/sheet segment might also have contributed to the shinny results. 
China dediced to cut power rates for industrial and commercial users by an average 0.018 yuan ($0.00294)/Kwh. The country will also remove provisional export tax on aluminum bar and rod from May 1, 2015. These favorable policies will help cut production costs and favor exports for Chalco.
