The smelter, at present, operates 864 electrolysis cells that leverage the proven Pechiney AP30 version of the Hall-Héroult process. The equipment allows the facility to deliver stable output and effective usage of power, which is indeed a profitable advantage in a country where energy resources are pretty unpredictable.
Output holds firm during market disruption
For the third quarter of the FY 2025 that ended on September, Hillside produced 181,000 tonnes of aluminium, which is a slight rise from the previous quarters of 2025. The plant continues to operate with a steady output despite dealing with high input costs and power interruptions.
Management has reaffirmed its production goal of 720,000 tonnes for the 2026 financial year. This is reinforcing confidence in the plant’s performance and reliability.
