Novelis is strengthening its European logistics network with a EUR 43 million (USD 50.4 million) investment aimed at shifting more aluminium transport from road to rail. The company has purchased 220 new Shimmns railcars as part of its long-term sustainability strategy built around the principle of “rail instead of road.” Rail already accounts for 95 per cent of material movement between Novelis’ 10 European sites, and the new fleet is designed to further reinforce that system.

LB Aluminium Bhd turned in a much stronger set of results for the quarter ended Oct 31, 2025 (2QFY2026), with net profit rising sharply to RM 22.03 million (USD 5.34 million). A year earlier, the group earned RM7.64 million, making this almost a threefold increase driven by better showings from both its aluminium and property operations. Its revenue told a different story. Turnover slipped around 9.33 per cent to RM 270.86 million (USD 65.7 million) from RM280.19 million (USD 67.9 million), mainly because the aluminium division sold less volume. Even so, that segment’s PBT improved, landing at RM 10.58 million (USD 2.56 million) compared with RM 5.30 million (USD 1.2 million) last year. Margins were better, and forex losses didn’t bite as hard. The property side did most of the heavy...
Telangana’s aluminium manufacturers are facing a pocket pinch following the continuous price rise of the primary metal. For many small and mid-sized units, particularly the ones in secondary production and fabrication, the price jumps have become difficult to absorb. The 7.5 per cent duty on imported raw aluminium has pushed landed prices higher, leaving MSMEs that rely on stable inputs struggling to stay competitive. A state with a growing aluminium footprint Over the past few years, Telangana has built up a sizable downstream aluminium base. The state is home to a mix of extrusion units, fabrication workshops and MSMEs producing a wide range of aluminium profiles and finished items. Companies such as Global Aluminium Pvt Ltd, which operates extrusion plants in the region, and Mahasai...
Aluminium has been turning up in more workshops lately, mostly because manufacturers want parts that are lighter and still strong enough to handle daily wear. As this shift continues, many fabricators have picked up MIG equipment designed to work with aluminium. The machines themselves have become far easier to use than the older kits, so welders aren’t fighting with settings every few minutes. People sometimes think aluminium is tricky to weld. That idea hangs around, but the reality is a bit different. The metal simply reacts to heat in its own way. It pulls heat quickly, builds an oxide skin that needs to be cleaned off and behaves differently once the weld pool starts forming. Once a welder gets used to that, the job becomes much more predictable. Explore- Most accurate data to drive...
Constellium vocalises the warning that the European Union (EU) should immediately eradicate the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Its claim that the EU is posing a risk with the implementation of CBAM in January 2026, which is likely to ensure the slow demise of the European aluminium industry, is resonated by other aluminium product makers. Image for representational purpose only Explore- Most accurate data to drive business decisions with 50+ reports across the value chain Constellium criticises CBAM CBAM is intended to impose tax and levy on a selective set of imported goods including primary and secondary aluminium, to ensure they pay a similar carbon cost as those who produce it within the EU.
