Oct 6 (Reuters) - A fire that broke out at Novelis' New

York plant in Oswego will disrupt business at Ford and

other automakers for months, the Wall Street Journal reported on

Monday.

Ford, the biggest user of the plant's aluminum, will likely

flag potential implications of the setback to investors when it

discloses quarterly financial results later this month, the

report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Novelis, the world's largest recycler of aluminum, reported a

fire incident at its Oswego plant on September 16, with no

injuries.

In a statement to Reuters on Monday, Novelis - which is owned by

India's Hindalco - said it anticipates operations to

restart at the Oswego facility's hot mill by the first quarter

of 2026.

Hyundai Motor's ( HYMLF ) North America unit said there is no

impact to its vehicle production related to the fire.

Ford, Stellantis ( STLA ), Toyota ( TM ), Volkswagen

, which depend on aluminum from Novelis, did not

immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
