MOSCOW, September 4. /TASS/. Russian aluminum giant Rusal is planning to build a bauxite-alumina complex in Indonesia as part of its regional expansion strategy, the company told TASS.
"Rusal is developing a project to build a bauxite-alumina complex in Indonesia. For the company, this Indonesian venture represents a continuation of its diversification strategy in the Pacific region," Rusal said.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto confirmed the partnership with the Russian aluminum producer during his speech at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2026).
"We are working with Rusal, a major corporation. Rusal has entered Indonesia with serious intent. They are currently building the relevant facilities in cooperation with Indonesian companies," he said.
In late July, Russia's Ambassador to Indonesia Sergey Tolchenov noted in an interview with TASS that the two nations are achieving strong results in aluminum cooperation, with Rusal ramping up shipments of finished products to the Indonesian market.
