China’s decision to cancel this tax rebate, which has long supported its export-driven aluminum industry, sparked a sharp rally in aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange on Friday. The move is expected to curb the excessive supply of Chinese aluminum abroad.

Shares of National Aluminium company limited (NALCO) gained above 9 per cent on November 18 as the consolidated net profit quintupled to ₹1,062 crore for the second quarter ended on September 30, 2024,

The development is likely to curtail China's aluminium exports, thereby tightening global supply and driving up prices, ICICI Securities said

Chinese Aluminium exports represent 15% to 16% of the country's total production and 20% to 22% of production outside China.

Any tightening of the supply of aluminium and aluminium products globally are expected to benefit Indian producers.
