Hindalco Industries Limited, the Aditya Birla Group metals flagship, surpassed its previous performance benchmarks, delivering record Revenue and Net Profit driven by a strong performance across its business segments.

Consolidated EBITDA for the second quarter stood at Rs 13,757 crore, registering a growth of 42% year-on-year. Quarterly Net Profit was Rs 7,533 crore compared to Rs 4,741 crore in the same quarter last year.

This record performance was underpinned by the strength of Hindalco’s integrated business model led by a solid primary upstream business complemented by strong contributions from its downstream business. The Copper business reported its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA, while Novelis sustained improved performance building on Oswego’s normalisation. Together, the non-LME-linked businesses contributed almost 50% to the company’s earnings reflecting sustainable growth despite LME volatility and global macroeconomic headwinds.

*comprising Novelis, Copper, Aluminium Downstream

Commenting on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said, “Hindalco delivered its strongest-ever quarterly performance, with Revenue and PAT surpassing their previous highs. Our long-term strategy of building an integrated business model across upstream metals and downstream value-added products is translating into a stronger and more resilient earnings profile.

While the Aluminium Upstream business registered an EBITDA growth of 55%, our non-LME-linked businesses also recorded EBITDA growth of nearly 50%, supported by stable operations at Novelis and a record quarter in the Copper Downstream, and Aluminium Downstream businesses.

Looking ahead, the commissioning and ramp up of Bay Minette, copper recycling, aluminium battery foil, Aditya FRP and Inner Grooved Tubes will further accelerate the share of our non-LME-linked businesses. On the upstream front, our aluminium refinery and smelters, copper smelters and coal mine projects remain on track. Together, these investments reinforce Hindalco’s position as an integrated global metals company, combining upstream strength with downstream growth to deliver sustainable, long-term value in all market cycles.”
