National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO) has reported growth in net profit and best-ever production performance.
NALCO’s second quarter results were at Rs.1433 crore ($16.1M) compared to Rs.1062 crore ($12M) achieved during the same period in 2024.
During the first half of the current financial year, NALCO has reported a 50.15% growth in net profit, soaring to Rs. 2497 crore ($28.2M) in comparison to Rs.1663 crore ($18.8M) for the same period last year.
On the production front, NALCO has achieved its best-ever performance in alumina hydrate, calcined alumina and aluminium cast metal production for the first half of FY 2025–26.
The strong performance during Q2 FY 2025–26 was driven by enhanced operational efficiencies, cost optimisation measures, and supportive market conditions, including a recovery in aluminium prices in the international market and steady domestic demand growth from the infrastructure and automotive sectors.
Shri Brijendra Pratap Singh, Chairman-cum-Managing Director of NALCO, stated: “We have demonstrated resilience through operational excellence, cost-saving measures, and sustained productivity, supported by higher volumes and improved efficiency, despite lower sales realisation from metal prices.
“Going forward, we remain focused on value addition, sustainability, and expanding our production capacities to ensure long-term growth and value creation for all stakeholders.”
