Mumbai/IBNS, March 5 -- Shares of National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO) climbed nearly 8 percent on Thursday, extending their rally over the past three trading sessions amid the escalating US-Iran conflict, media reports said.

The stock has surged around 12 percent in the last three sessions.

The Bahrain-based producer has also halted deliveries of the metal to some customers, according to a report by CNBC-TV18.

The company is a steady supplier of aluminium to West Asia, but the ongoing conflict has disrupted supply chains as safety concerns intensify around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil and commodity transit chokepoints.
