Emkay Global Highlights Record EBITDA

According to Emkay Global, Vedanta Aluminium delivered a record EBITDA of around ₹10,500 crore during the June quarter, broadly matching expectations.

Cost Reduction Could Boost Margins Further

Nuvama believes the commencement of captive bauxite and coal mines during the second half of FY27 could significantly reduce production costs.

Strong Domestic Demand Supports Long-Term Growth

Brokerages remain optimistic about India's aluminium industry, expecting domestic demand to expand at 8–9% annually and reach 8–8.5 million tonnes by FY30.

MOFSL believes Vedanta Aluminium will benefit from:

Ongoing backward integration

Higher contribution from value-added products

Rising domestic aluminium consumption

Strong cash flow generation potential
