According to the report, Indonesian PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Inalum) announced the plans to invest in its aluminum smelter.

The company will invest US$10 billion over the next five years to build infrastructure, including hydropower plants and use its local bauxite resources to quickly build 2 million tons of alumina capacity. Half of this part of the plant was used to export to overseas markets.

In addition, Indonesia planned to invest US$850 million to build an alumina plant with an annual output of 1 million tons in West Kalimantan, which was expected to be completed within three years.
