China recorded a bauxite price of USD 64 per dry metric tonne (DMT) on a CIF basis in August 2026, while India's quotation stood at USD 73 per DMT on an FOB basis, according to the supplied market assessment.

Buyers sourcing bauxite from India therefore need to account for additional shipping costs to determine the final landed price. As a result, the USD 9 difference does not represent the actual gap between the two markets' delivered costs. Freight terms complicate regional bauxite price comparison...
Russian aluminium producer Rusal has reached an agreement with Ghana's state-owned Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC) to jointly develop bauxite mining and alumina refining projects, marking a significant step towards expanding the country's domestic aluminium value chain. Under the agreement, the projects will be implemented through two joint ventures in which Rusal will hold majority stakes.
