Hindalco Q1 FY27 Results: Hindalco Industries Ltd reported a strong start to the financial year, posting record quarterly earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Aditya Birla Group company delivered robust year-on-year growth in profit and revenue, supported by improved operational performance across its aluminium, copper and Novelis businesses despite cost headwinds during the quarter.
The metals major announced its financial results on Friday, August 7, during market hours. According to the company’s regulatory filing, consolidated net profit surged 75% year-on-year to an all-time quarterly high of ₹7,013 crore, compared with ₹4,004 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
Revenue from core operations also recorded strong growth, rising 32% to ₹84,825 crore from ₹64,232 crore reported in the same quarter last year. The company attributed the strong financial performance to healthy business momentum across its operations and improved profitability in key segments.
Hindalco Delivers Record Quarterly Financial Performance
The June quarter marked one of Hindalco’s strongest financial performances, with multiple business divisions reporting their highest-ever quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). The company said favourable macroeconomic conditions, operational efficiency, premium product innovation and resource security helped strengthen overall profitability during the reporting period.
Despite facing cost pressures, Hindalco maintained growth momentum across its domestic operations while its overseas subsidiary, Novelis, reported improved profitability following the restart of production at the Oswego plant and continued gains from its cost-optimisation initiatives.

Growth Driven by Broad-Based Business Performance
Hindalco said the quarter’s performance reflected strength across its diversified business portfolio rather than dependence on a single segment. The company reported healthy contributions from its India operations as well as its global subsidiary Novelis, helping it deliver record profitability during the quarter.
The company noted that continued operational improvements, stronger execution and strategic focus on value-added products supported earnings growth across major business divisions. These factors enabled Hindalco to offset cost-related challenges while maintaining healthy financial performance during the April-June quarter.
All Major Business Segments Report Record Quarterly EBITDA
Hindalco reported record operating performance across its key business segments during the June quarter, with Aluminium Upstream, Aluminium Downstream, Copper and Novelis each delivering their highest-ever quarterly EBITDA. The company said favourable macroeconomic tailwinds, improved operational performance, resource security and continued focus on premium product innovation contributed to the strong results.
The broad-based improvement across businesses helped strengthen consolidated earnings, highlighting the company’s diversified operating model during the quarter.
Aluminium Upstream Business Records Highest-Ever Quarterly EBITDA
The aluminium upstream business emerged as the strongest contributor to operating performance during the quarter. EBITDA from the segment increased 81% year-on-year to a record ₹7,390 crore, reflecting significant improvement over the corresponding period last year.
The company attributed the performance to strong operating momentum and favourable business conditions, making it the highest quarterly EBITDA ever reported by the segment.
Copper Business Continues Strong Growth Momentum
Hindalco’s copper business also delivered record quarterly earnings, with EBITDA rising 36% year-on-year to ₹918 crore. The performance further strengthened the company’s overall profitability during the reporting period and reflected continued momentum across its diversified metals portfolio.
Novelis Reports Record Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA
Global aluminium rolling and recycling company Novelis, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindalco, also recorded its strongest-ever quarterly adjusted EBITDA. The company reported adjusted EBITDA of ₹4,875 crore, representing a 37% increase compared with the same quarter a year earlier.
According to Hindalco, Novelis benefited from the restart of production at its Oswego plant, while the company’s cost-optimisation programme continued to improve profitability. The commissioning process at the Bay Minette facility also progressed during the quarter, supporting its long-term expansion plans.
Segment-wise EBITDA Performance

Operational Strength Supports Quarterly Earnings
The company said its India business maintained strong momentum throughout the quarter, while operational improvements at Novelis added to the group’s overall performance. Hindalco highlighted that resource security, premium product innovation and continued execution across upstream and downstream businesses played an important role in delivering record quarterly operating earnings.
By reporting record EBITDA across all its major business verticals, Hindalco demonstrated broad-based operational strength during the April-June quarter despite the cost pressures experienced during the period.
Net Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio Rises Year-on-Year
Alongside its record earnings, Hindalco also reported its latest leverage position for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company’s consolidated net debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 1.95 times, compared with 1.02 times in the corresponding period a year earlier.
The updated ratio reflects the company’s financial position at the end of the first quarter even as it continued to invest across multiple expansion projects in its metals business.
