The Aditya Birla Group-owned metals producer declared force majeure to all of its extruded aluminium customers on March 11, the notice showed.
Extruded aluminium is used in construction, electric vehicles, electronics and solar panels.
India is reeling under its worst gas crisis in decades due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, with the government cutting supplies for industries to shield households from any shortage of cooking gas.
”Hindalco has taken and continues to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of the force majeure event,” the company said in the notice.
Hindalco’s aluminium smelters, however, remain operational, according to the sources, who declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to media.
Hindalco did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment outside of business hours.
