Amidst ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), which operates the world's largest single aluminium smelter, has announced a phased production shutdown to conserve raw material inventory and maintain operations in other parts of the plant, according to comprehensive reports.

It is reported that Alba has initiated the shutdown of three production lines, which together account for 19% of its annual total output of 1.6 million tonnes, approx. 2.2% of global aluminium output. The production cut by Alba is the latest event in the the global aluminum industry's turmoil.
