LONDON (Scrap Register): Global aluminium production continued its upward trend since the end of last year, according to statistics of the International Aluminium Institute (IAI).

Even though the production slightly decreased in April, the output still grew since May.

China and GCC are still the largest contributors to total global production, and they have an important role on the monthly and the annual world production of aluminium.

The primary aluminium production in China almost accounts of the half of the global aluminium production, according to IAI.

Meanwhile, Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has revised the nickel ore HPM formula under Kepmen ESDM No. 363.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026, effective September 15. The revision mainly lowers the corrective factor for low-grade nickel ore, significantly reducing the HPM benchmark for low-grade limonite and bringing it closer to prevailing market prices. The revised formula puts the HPM for 1.2% Ni ore at around $24.89/wmt, down about 45% from the previous level. The government said the revision aims to make nickel ore feedstock more economical for smelters, while its impact will continue to be evaluated.
