Hindalco Industries Sees Decline in March Quarter Earnings Due to Oswego Plant Disruptions

Hindalco Industries, the flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group and one of the world's largest aluminium rolling companies, reported a sharp decline in its March quarter earnings due to disruptions at the Oswego plant following a fire incident. The company's consolidated net profit for the quarter stood at ₹2,597 crore, marking a 51% decline from ₹5,284 crore posted in the same period last year.

Despite the decline in profit, Hindalco's consolidated revenue from operations rose to ₹78,133 crore from ₹64,890 crore in the year-ago quarter, reflecting a 20.4% increase. This growth was driven by a sharp rise in base metal prices, including aluminium and copper. The company's EBITDA for the fourth quarter stood at ₹11,197 crore, up 9% from the same quarter last year.

Record Quarterly Earnings from Aluminium and Copper Businesses The company's aluminium upstream business posted a record quarterly EBITDA of ₹5,448 crore, up 13%, while the copper business delivered a record EBITDA of ₹907 crore, reflecting a 48% jump.
