Proceeds of this deal are expected to support Sanvira Carbon’s flagship aluminium smelter project’s two phases of construction.

Phase 1 will see the development of a calcined petroleum coke plant with a capacity of 570,000 metric tons per year (MTPA). The upcoming phase 2 aims to establish a 300,000MTPA pre-baked anode manufacturing unit in the Sohar free zone.
