Hindalco Q4 net jumps 66 pc to Rs 5,284 crore

Mumbai, May 20 (UNI) Hindalco Industries Ltd, the metals flagship of the Aditya Birla Group, on Tuesday reported a record-breaking consolidated net profit of ₹5,284 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, registering a 66 per cent year-on-year growth.
Consolidated EBITDA for the March quarter stood at an all-time high of ₹10,296 crore, up 43 per cent, while revenue climbed 16 per cent to ₹64,890 crore.
The strong Q4 performance capped a stellar year for the company, which posted its highest-ever annual profit of ₹16,002 crore in FY25, a 58 per cent increase over the previous fiscal. Full-year consolidated EBITDA surged 38 per cent to ₹35,496 crore on a 10 per cent rise in revenue to ₹2,38,496 crore.
Announcing the results, Hindalco Managing Director Satish Pai said, "Hindalco delivered an all-time high performance in FY25, driven by strong operational resilience, cost discipline, and continued momentum across all our businesses."
The company’s Aluminium Upstream operations in India remained a key driver of growth, clocking a record annual EBITDA of ₹16,262 crore, up 78 per cent. Aluminium Downstream also saw its best-ever performance with an EBITDA of ₹633 crore for the year. The Copper business posted a record EBITDA of ₹3,025 crore, a 16 per cent increase, buoyed by strong value-added product sales.
Its US-based subsidiary Novelis reported a 14 per cent rise in net income to $683 million for the full year. Despite higher scrap costs impacting adjusted EBITDA, Novelis posted a 77 per cent YoY increase in Q4 net income to $294 million, aided by a favourable metal price lag and lower tax provisions.
The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of ₹5 per share (500%) for FY25, up from ₹3.5 per share (350%) in the previous year, marking a 43 per cent increase.
The company further reported improvement in its financial leverage, with net debt to EBITDA reducing to 1.06x as of March 31, 2025, compared to 1.21x a year earlier.
Looking ahead, Hindalco said it is well-positioned for accelerated growth, backed by resource security through the Meenakshi coal block, and ongoing investments in copper smelting expansion, e-waste recycling, and value-added specialty alumina.
The company retained its global leadership on sustainability, ranking once again as the world’s most sustainable aluminium company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for the fifth straight year.
With 52 manufacturing facilities across 10 countries, Hindalco is the world’s largest aluminium company by revenues and the second-largest producer of copper rods outside China.
