Nickel Industries stated that the ramp-up of its Excelsior Nickel Cobalt HPAL project in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, has been disrupted by water shortages caused by exceptionally dry weather.

Before the constraints emerged, ENC had reached approximately 50% of nameplate capacity within four weeks of commissioning.

The company expects water availability to recover with the wet season by December 2026. Its RKEF operations remain unaffected and continue to operate normally.
