Hindalco Industries stops production at Dahej plant

Hindalco Industries has halted the production of copper cathode at its Dahej plant due to breakdown of cooling tower of Sulfuric Acid Plant- 3 of the copper plant. This has led to disruption of production in Smelter-3. The repair of the cooling tower is expected to be completed within a couple of weeks and after which normal production from Smelter-3 is expected to commence. This may cause loss of cathode production of around 8,000 tonne. Contact: Hindalco Industries. Tel: 022-6662 6666. Fax:022-2436 2516. Website: www.hindalco.com
