KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Indonesia's President Joko Widodo launched a $941 million smelter-grade alumina refinery run by state miner Aneka Tambang and state-owned aluminium producer Inalum in the country's West Kalimantan province on Tuesday. The production capacity of the refinery is 1 million metric tons of alumina per year, which would absorb 3.3 million tons input of bauxite. The companies are planning to expand the plant's production capacity by another 1 million tons and build an aluminium plant to further process the alumina output, according to Hendi Prio Santoso, chief executive of MIND ID, parent company of both Inalum and Antam.
