Hindalco posted record Q2 FY27 consolidated PAT of ₹7,533 crore (+59% YoY) on ₹91,708 crore revenue, led by Copper and Novelis gains.
Key Takeaways
- Consolidated revenue climbed 39% YoY (+8% QoQ) to ₹91,708 crore, while net profit hit an all-time quarterly high of ₹7,533 crore (+59% YoY).
- PAT growth outpaced consolidated EBITDA (+42% YoY to ₹13,757 crore) partly due to India business transitioning to a lower effective tax regime.
- Copper EBITDA surged 164% YoY to a record ₹1,673 crore, while Novelis EBITDA rose 32% YoY in INR terms to ₹4,858 crore.
Hindalco Industries delivered its highest-ever quarterly consolidated net profit of ₹7,533 crore in Q2 FY27, powered by record copper earnings, resilient domestic aluminium upstream margins, and a recovery at US subsidiary Novelis.
What Happened
According to the company's Q2 FY27 release, consolidated revenue surged 39% YoY to ₹91,708 crore (from ₹66,058 crore in Q2 FY26) and rose roughly 8% sequentially. Consolidated EBITDA increased 42% YoY to ₹13,757 crore, though it moderated about 8% QoQ from ₹14,989 crore in Q1 FY27.
Net profit climbed 59% YoY (and ~7.4% QoQ) to ₹7,533 crore compared to ₹4,741 crore a year earlier. Notably, net profit grew faster than EBITDA sequentially and yearly in part because Hindalco's India operations transitioned to a new tax regime, lowering the effective tax rate.

Non-LME-linked businesses generated a record ₹6,860 crore in EBITDA (+50% YoY), accounting for nearly half of total earnings and cushioning Hindalco against global benchmark price swings. At Novelis, the Oswego plant returned to normal production levels and the Bay Minette facility produced its first cold-rolled coil in September.
Hindalco's strong performance is also supported by its upstream aluminium operations in India, where cost efficiencies from captive coal and bauxite supply have insulated margins from commodity price swings. The company's global footprint through Novelis — which operates 33 rolling plants across North America, Europe, and Asia — provides natural currency diversification and reduces single-market exposure. With the global energy transition accelerating demand for lightweight aluminium in electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure, Hindalco is strategically positioned to capture secular tailwinds over the next five to seven years, analysts note.
Independent TradeKaizen Analysis & Key Risks
TradeKaizen Analysis: The 50% YoY expansion in non-LME-linked EBITDA reinforces Hindalco's structural shift toward downstream value-added products and copper by-product realizations, reducing pure commodity cyclicality. Sequential softness in consolidated EBITDA (-8% QoQ) reflects normalization from Q1 peaks rather than operational deterioration, while the lower effective tax rate provided an additional bottom-line boost.
Key risks include global aluminium and copper price volatility, execution and ramp-up costs at Novelis' Bay Minette project, and potential demand slowdowns in US and European beverage-can and automotive end-markets.
