India’s SOI Global is expected to resume bauxite production in late September.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 24 (SMM) – India’s SOI Global is expected to resume bauxite production in late September. 

SOI Global halted production in early June due to heavy rains, and the rainy season is expected to come to an end in late September, so the company plans to return online in late September. 

China Bauxite Imports Surge almost 70 Per cent YoY in July

The company produced about 500,000 tonnes of bauxite during the first half of 2017, down 50 per cent on a yearly basis. 

The producer cut output during the first quarter of the year due to weak demand in China, and plans to produce 400,000 tonnes of bauxite every month in the fourth quarter. 

The company now holds about 150,000 tones of inventories, and produced 1.70 million tonnes of bauxite last year.

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Update] China's social inventory of cast aluminum alloy ingots stood at 31,800 mt this week, down 2,700 mt WoW, ending a six-week streak of inventory buildup. The shift to destocking this week was mainly driven by a widening spot-futures price spread and the release of pre-holiday stockpiling demand, with enterprises showing improved purchasing appetite. The National Day holiday arrives next week, and pre-holiday stockpiling demand may be further released. Social inventory is expected to continue destocking, but whether demand can be sustained after the holiday still warrants attention.
