Alufluoride Ltd has resumed normal operations at its Visakhapatnam plant after securing confirmation from its supplier that raw material supply issues have been resolved. The company had previously reduced production at the facility due to a shortage of Hydrofluosilicic Acid, a key input for manufacturing Aluminium Fluoride. The resumption addresses the operational constraints imposed by supply chain disruptions stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Supplier Confirmation and Procurement Restored

The company informed the stock exchanges that it received a communication dated July 15, 2026, from the supplier confirming the resolution of the supply bottleneck. Consequently, the supplier has increased its plant load, enabling Alufluoride to procure the requisite quantity of Hydrofluosilicic Acid. This development allows the Visakhapatnam facility to restore production to standard levels.

The update was submitted to BSE Limited under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The disclosure follows an earlier intimation dated May 23, 2026, which had detailed the temporary reduction in operations. The company had attributed the prior slowdown to the reduced availability of the critical raw material caused by geopolitical tensions affecting the supply chain.

Operational Timeline

The key milestones in the disruption and subsequent recovery are outlined below:

The restoration of full operations is expected to stabilize the production output of Aluminium Fluoride at the Visakhapatnam unit. Management has initiated the necessary procurement arrangements to ensure a steady supply of raw materials moving forward.

Alufluoride Limited has convened its Annual General Meeting for Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 11.00 AM IST, to be held through Video Conference ("VC") / Other Audio-Visual Means ("OAVM"). The meeting notice, along with the Annual Report for FY 2025-26, was filed with BSE Limited on May 22, 2026 by the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Mrs. Vaishali Kohli.

Outlook and Future Projects

Coromandel International Limited has commissioned a greenfield Phosphoric Acid plant in Kakinada, supplying Hydrofluosilicic Acid (FSA) to the company with effect from April 2026. The company has also undertaken a further expansion of its AlF3 production infrastructure, with enhanced capacity of 80 tons per day (TPD) targeted by end of June 2026. However, the company noted that FSA supply had been constrained due to disruptions to shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, affecting upstream sulphur and ammonia supply chains for Indian phosphatic-fertiliser producers. On May 23, 2026, the company filed a disclosure with the stock exchanges intimating that FSA supply had reduced and that operations were being scaled back commensurately. The company is also exploring a new project to manufacture Alumina Hydrate as a separate vertical, following shareholder approval for amendment of the objects clause through postal ballot on April 20, 2025.
