[SMM Aluminum Express News] Shandong Nanshan Aluminum's Adaro-Lygend Kaltara project in North Kalimantan exemplifies the phased development strategy adopted by many Chinese firms in Indonesia. The project aims to achieve a total annual capacity of 1.5 million tons, structured across three distinct stages with completion timelines extending through late 2025. This phased approach allows for careful management of capital expenditure and enables the gradual scaling of production. Furthermore, it provides crucial flexibility to adjust subsequent expansion plans based on evolving market conditions and the operational performance of the initial phases.
