Iran’ primary aluminium output demonstrates a 1% drop during March-August period

According to Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development & Renovation (IMIDRO), aluminium production in Iran through the first five months of Iranian calendar year (from March 20 to August 21) totalled 264,617 tonnes, compared to 267,983 tonnes during the corresponding period of the previous year. Until the fourth month, the output was 221,409 tonnes, meaning the production in the fifth month amounted to 43,208 tonnes.

The year-to-date output of FY2025 has primarily been contributed by four major producers, namely South Aluminium Corporation (SALCO), Iranian Aluminium Company (IRALCO), Almahdi Aluminium Company, and Iran Aluminium Company.

Among those producers, SALCO produced 111,521 tonnes of ingots in the first five months, followed by IRALCO churning out 73,182 tonnes. Almahdi Aluminium Company and Iran Alumina Company produced 65,295 tonnes and 14,619 tonnes, respectively.

During the same period, Iran’s alumina production amounted to 96,685 tonnes, and the output of bauxite and aluminium hydrate totalled 284,828 tonnes and 163,096 tonnes, respectively.

In the past Iranian calendar year (ended March 19), the total aluminium ingot production volume was 635,000 tonnes versus 632,000 tonnes in the earlier year.

At present, Iran is the world’s 18th largest aluminium-producing country, with an industrial value of $22 billion, according to Iranian officials.
