Phase One Implementation

The first phase of the smelter project is currently under construction and is expected to have a production capacity of 500,000 tons per year ¹

. This initial phase relies on a coal-fired power plant to meet its energy requirements. The management has emphasized that this phase is being maximized with several furnace units (pot) being operationalized gradually ¹

Future Expansion Plans

The subsequent phases of the project are equally ambitious, with the second phase planned to utilize hydropower as its energy source. This phase is scheduled to achieve commercial operation date (COD) by early 2031 ²

. The shift to hydropower in the later stages underscores ADMR's commitment to incorporating more sustainable energy sources in its operations.

Market Strategy

The production from the first phase of the smelter is planned to be marketed both domestically and through exports ²

. This dual-market approach is expected to help ADMR optimize its revenue streams and strengthen its position in the aluminium market.
