[SMM Aluminum Express News] EGA has restarted alumina production at its Al Taweelah alumina refinery, with output expected to reach 50% of plant capacity within days and full technical production capability by the end of 2026. The refinery, which produced 2.4 million tonnes of alumina in 2025 and supplied 46% of EGA's alumina requirements, had been shut since March following damage from the regional conflict. The pace of further ramp-up will depend on supply chain conditions and bauxite sourcing optimisation, while the aluminum smelter restart continues independently.
