Hindalco Reports Profit Growth Amid Coal Shortages; Vedanta Secures Bauxite Supply Amid Pricing Dispute
Hindalco Industries reported a 58.8% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for Q2 FY27, driven by strong aluminium, copper, and Novelis performances. However, the company flagged coal shortages in northern India, leading to a 5% sequential rise in aluminium production costs, with easing expected in Q4. Separately, Vedanta Aluminium secured captive bauxite supplies amid a pricing dispute with Odisha Mining Corporation, aiming to reduce input costs despite ongoing legal challenges over revised pricing.
