what happened
Nickel Industries has closed financing for its ENC HPAL project, according to Reuters. Its unit PT Fajar Metal Industry, known as FMI, signed a non-recourse project finance facility worth $245 million.
The term loan can be increased later, potentially up to $800 million. FMI is still discussing participation in the facility with other banks on the same terms.
why it matters
A non-recourse structure means lenders rely on the project's own cash flows rather than the parent company's balance sheet. For the nickel market, the expansion option signals growing investment in HPAL capacity, which matters for longer-term supply expectations.
