MOSCOW- The start of aluminium production at Russia's Taishet aluminium smelter, a project of sanctions-hit Rusal, has been postponed until after 2020, Russia's economy ministry said in materials prepared for a government meeting.
Rusal previously planned to build the first line of the Siberian smelter, with an annual capacity of 430,000 tonnes, by 2020.
