Hindalco Industries has issued a clarification denying media reports that claimed the company had halted aluminium product sales amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Iran. The company said the news article circulating in mainstream media was factually incorrect and misleading, and confirmed that its aluminium operations continue to function normally.
According to the company, a communication sent to certain customers of its Aluminium Extrusions business followed a force majeure declaration by some gas suppliers.
The message was intended as a routine business update highlighting the possibility of supply disruptions in a specific segment of the extrusion business. However, the company emphasised that this issue affects only a very small portion of its operations. The aluminium extrusions segment represents less than 0.1% of Hindalco’s overall production capacity, limiting the operational impact.
Hindalco clarified that all major upstream and downstream operations remain unaffected. The company’s primary aluminium production as well as other downstream businesses continue to operate without disruption, supported by captive power and alternative energy arrangements.
The company also stated that it will continue to comply with regulatory requirements and will make disclosures if any development arises that requires reporting under listing regulations.
As of March 16, 2026, at 10:10 AM, Hindalco share price is trading at ₹926.95 per share, reflecting a surge of 1.86% from the previous closing price.
By issuing the clarification, Hindalco sought to address market speculation and reassure stakeholders that its core aluminium operations remain stable despite external supply challenges affecting a minor business segment.
