Management Commentary:
Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said,
“Our strong Q1 results ride on the back of consistent operational excellence and cost optimisation, which allowed us to leverage the higher average metal prices. The Copper business achieved its highest quarterly EBITDA driven by high domestic sales (especially downstream products), healthy by-product credits and better operational efficiencies following a successful planned shutdown.
The Aluminium India Upstream business recorded an 81% growth in EBITDA over the previous year. At 40%, it has registered the highest EBITDA margins globally. Novelis’ EBITDA per tonne at $525, was up 10% YoY, primarily due to increased volumes led by normalised beverage can shipments. Looking ahead, the major capital formation phase of the downstream business is near completion, and from here on, we will explore growth opportunities in the upstream business, given our strong cash position. On the ESG front, I am happy to report that we are on track on our roadmap for climate action, waste recycling, water conservation, and biodiversity protection.”
