Satish Pai, managing director, Hindalco Industries, said, “Hindalco has started FY27 on a strong note, delivering record revenue, EBITDA and PAT, with every business segment contributing meaningfully to this performance. Our India business delivered another record quarterly performance, while Novelis reported improved profitability supported by the successful restart of Oswego and continued benefits from cost optimisation measures. Our aluminium upstream business reported an all-time high EBITDA, backed by favourable macros and operational efficiencies. Both our copper and aluminium downstream businesses also delivered record quarterly EBITDA, reflecting the continued strength of our diversified business model, value-added products and operational excellence.
Looking ahead, our pipeline of strategic investments remains robust across upstream and downstream. As we continue to expand upstream capacities in alumina, aluminium and copper, we are scaling up our downstream projects. Projects such as Aditya FRP, battery foil, battery enclosure, and inner grooved tube are progressing well, while the ramp of Novelis’ Oswego plant and Bay Minette plant will mark another milestone in our downstream growth journey. Together, these investments position Hindalco uniquely as an integrated global metals company with the right balance of upstream strength and downstream value addition to deliver sustainable, long-term growth.”
