The National Aluminum Company Ltd (NALCO) is intending to set up a 0.5 million ton capacity aluminum plant in South Africa. The new plant would use local mineral resources as its raw material.
During his visit to South Africa earlier this week, the Indian Minister of State for Mines, Subbarami Reddy, had the preliminary discussions on the plan with the the Head of Mining and Steel Ministry of South Africa, Sandile Nogxina.
Reddy, who was with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his visit to Nigeria and South Africa, revealed NALCO’s intent on establishing the plant to Nogxina.
