【SMM Flash News】PT United Tractors Advances $113M RKEF Smelter Project Despite RKAB Production Constraints
PT United Tractors (UT) is moving forward with its $113 million RKEF nickel smelter project despite tightening RKAB production quotas. While central to its downstream strategy, UT is currently reviewing its $850 million total capex as RKAB limits on nickel and coal output create feedstock supply risks. The company is seeking quota revisions in H1 2026 to stabilize production and ensure the long-term viability of its nickel value-chain investments.
