NEW DELHI: Hindalco Industries, the metals flagship of the Aditya Birla Group, reported a 66 per cent year-on-year surge in consolidated net profit to Rs 5,284 crore for the quarter ended March 2025, up from Rs 3,174 crore a year ago. The robust performance was driven by strong Indian operations, aided by favourable macroeconomic conditions and lower input costs.Consolidated revenue from operations rose to Rs 64,890 crore, compared to Rs 55,994 crore in the same quarter last year.For the full financial year FY25, Hindalco posted a record consolidated profit after tax of Rs 16,002 crore, up from Rs 10,155 crore in FY24. Annual revenue grew to Rs 2,38,496 crore, against Rs 2,15,962 crore in the previous fiscal.“Hindalco delivered an all-time high performance in FY25, driven by strong operational resilience, cost discipline, and continued momentum across all our businesses. Our Aluminium Upstream business in India remained a strong anchor, complemented by robust growth in the downstream business. The Copper business achieved a record EBITDA backed by strong value-added product sales. Despite tighter scrap spreads, Novelis delivered a resilient performance through increased beverage can shipments,” said Managing Director Satish Pai.Pai further claimed that Hindalco is entering a phase of accelerated growth, backed by secure access to key resources such as bauxite and coal, and strategic investments across aluminium and copper businesses. The company is also advancing its copper smelter expansion, e-waste recycling initiatives, and value-added product development in specialty alumina.In a key strategic move, the board approved the acquisition of EMIL Mines and Mineral Resources Ltd (EMMRL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Essel Mining & Industries Ltd. This includes the Bandha coal block, with 197 million tonnes of mineable reserves and a 45-year mine life, located just 20 km from Hindalco’s Mahan power plant and smelter—ensuring a sustainable and cost-efficient coal supply.Hindalco, a 28-billion dollar global metals leader, ranks among the top aluminium producers by revenue and is the second-largest manufacturer of copper rods outside China. With fully integrated operations from bauxite mining to downstream processing, and through its subsidiary Novelis, Hindalco holds a leading position in flat rolled aluminium products and aluminium recycling worldwide.
