Indonesia's state-owned PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium, known as locally as PT Inalum, is pushing to expand its operations and become the Indonesian government's benchmark for its plan to limit ore exports and reduce imports of finished metals. PT Inalum is expected to allocate as much as $7 billion to develop an alumina refinery, aluminum smelter, ferronickel smelter and power plants.
