Maan Aluminium Limited's recent announcement of commercial production from its newly installed 30 MN short stroke back loading press marked a significant milestone for the company and triggered a notable response from the stock market. Following the commencement of this production, Maan Aluminium’s shares saw a 3% jump, reflecting investor confidence and optimism about the company's future growth prospects.
The new press, which boasts advanced technologies, has effectively doubled the aluminium extrusion production capacity from 12,000 tonnes to 24,000 tonnes. This is not just a modest enhancement; it allows for the production of profiles up to 30 mm wider and enables Maan Aluminium to manufacture all series alloys ranging from 1xxx to 7xxx. This upgrade is expected to bolster Maan Aluminium’s position not only within the Indian market but also on the international stage.
According to Business Upturn, this strategic move is aligned with the company's expansion plans announced earlier this year and last year, positioning Maan Aluminium for improved efficiency and competitiveness within the global aluminium extrusion market. The new press promises to streamline operations and contribute to the company's ability to meet diverse customer demands.
On the day of the announcement, shares of Maan Aluminium opened at ₹132.45, experiencing fluctuations throughout the trading session. The stock reached as high as ₹138.00 and hit a low of ₹131.50, remaining well below its 52-week high of ₹259.50, yet standing above its 52-week low of ₹111.40.
