Commenting
on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said, “Hindalco concluded
the year with very strong results across all business segments. This was a
clear testament to our strategic focus on value-added products and margin
improvement. The Copper business has grown to become the 2nd largest in the
world for Copper rods (excluding China). It achieved its best ever performance
with sales crossing 500,000 tonnes for the first time, and an alltime high
EBITDA for the quarter and the year. Similarly, the Aluminium India Upstream
Business reported industry-best quarterly EBITDA margins of 32%, driven by
higher volumes and cost optimisation. Our continued focus on enhancing share of
the downstream segment is evident in its promising sales trajectory. Novelis
demonstrated an improved EBITDA per tonne driven by lower operating costs,
favourable metal benefits and market recovery.
We continue to maintain a strong balance
sheet and solid liquidity even after repaying Rs 5,195 crore of debt in
Hindalco India business during the year. This positions us well to stay on our
growth track and drive our future organic growth plans with prudent capital
allocation.
On the ESG front, our large scale renewable
and energy storage projects have put us well on track for our climate action
targets, and we have further advanced our initiatives in waste recycling,
protecting biodiversity and water conservation.”
