New Delhi: Hindalco Industries on Friday said it is examining various options for its non-productive assets, including the land located at Kalwa, Thane.

"We constantly evaluate various value optimisation options with respect to the non-productive assets of the company including the land located at Kalwa, Thane," Hindalco Industries said in a regulatory filing.

However, further details regarding proposed sale of its land could not be obtained.

When contacted, a company's spokesperson declined to comment.

The media reports further said that the company is looking to sell surplus real estate at four locations.
