Novelis, the wholly owned subsidiary of Hindalco Industries, reported a mixed performance for the June quarter (Q1 FY27), with higher aluminium prices and operational efficiencies driving strong growth in revenue, profitability and EBITDA despite lower shipments due to disruptions from the Oswego plant fires. While earnings improved sharply, cash flows remained under pressure because of higher working capital requirements and increased capital expenditure on the Bay Minette project. The company also reported progress in restoring operations at the Oswego facility, with the hot mill resuming production in early June.
