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.
The brokerage attributed the strong performance to:
Higher aluminium prices
Improved operating efficiencies
Continued cost control
Stable production performance
Management also reiterated its FY27 cost guidance of US$1,650–1,700 per tonne, reinforcing confidence in future profitability.
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.
The brokerage expects the company's cost of production (CoP) for hot metal to decline below US$1,600 per tonne by FY28, strengthening operating margins and earnings.
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
Vedanta Aluminium Outlook
With robust quarterly earnings, improving operational efficiency, expanding domestic demand, and multiple brokerage upgrades, Vedanta Aluminium has emerged as one of the key metal stocks to watch.
