The Indian alumina major may soon become a global alumina hub exporting alumina to all major metal producing countries, including Russia and China. In view of the management of RusAl's, the world's second largest aluminium company and a major contender in the Nalco disinvestment, Nalco with its rich alumina supply (1.6m tons) could easily become a major exporter of alumina, more than its metal strength. Nalco, the country's second largest aluminium company is also Asia's largest alumina firm. The metal aluminium is extracted from alumina, which in turn is refined from the ore bauxite.
