At a Board of Directors meeting held in Bhubaneswar, NALCO announced a 77 per cent rise in net profit for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, which stood at Rs 10.64 billion, up from Rs 6.01 billion in the same period last year. Revenue from operations during the quarter reached Rs 38.07 billion.

The Board has also recommended a final dividend of Rs 2.50 per equity share (50 per cent on a face value of Rs 5), totalling Rs 4.59 billion for FY 2024–25, subject to shareholder approval at the 44th Annual General Meeting. Including interim dividends, the total dividend payout for FY 2024–25 will amount to Rs 19.28 billion.

CMD Brijendra Pratap Singh credited the company’s outstanding Q1 showing to the strategic direction of the Board and the dedication of employees and stakeholders. He highlighted cost-efficient operations, a supportive domestic market, and a significant increase in production and sales volumes as key contributors.

Compared to the same quarter last year, bauxite transportation rose by 6.56 per cent, while production increased across key segments: Alumina Hydrate by 35.5 per cent, Calcined Alumina by 52.25 per cent, and Aluminium Cast Metal by 2.68 per cent. Export of alumina surged by 209 per cent, and domestic alumina sales climbed by 190 per cent, leading to the highest-ever domestic sales of both alumina and aluminium in a first quarter.

Singh noted that with India becoming the fastest-growing economy globally, aluminium demand is growing by 9 to 10 per cent annually and is projected to reach 7.5 to 8 million tonnes per year by 2030. He pointed to strong growth in transportation, construction, and electrical sectors as drivers of this trend.

“NALCO’s robust Q1 reflects our commitment to excellence, and we remain optimistic about sustaining this momentum,” Singh stated.

The company continues to strengthen its business fundamentals and is advancing its Alumina Refinery expansion while preparing to operationalise the Pottangi Bauxite Mines.
