Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Vedanta Aluminium posted a robust debut as an independent listed entity for Q1 FY27, reporting a highest-ever quarterly revenue from operations of Rs 21,105 crore, up 13% quarter-on-quarter and 45% year-on-year.
Profitability expanded sharply, with EBITDA surging 134% year-on-year to a record Rs 10,499 crore and profit after tax reaching Rs 6,597 crore, representing a 205% year-on-year surge supported by strong operating performance, higher sales volumes, and market tailwinds.
The company achieved a best-ever quarterly EBITDA margin of 50%, up 455 basis points sequentially and 1,897 basis points over the corresponding period of the previous year.
Aluminium production reached an all-time high of 632 thousand tonnes, driven by higher volumes from the newly expanded BALCO smelter, while value-added product output scaled to a record 389 thousand tonnes.
Alumina production at the Lanjigarh refinery rose 41% year-on-year to 826 thousand tonnes, benefiting from the ramp-up of the 3 MTPA circuit and enhanced asset utilization.
The balance sheet strengthened considerably through ongoing deleveraging, with net debt to EBITDA improving to 0.9x compared with 1.3x in Q4 FY26, alongside a credit rating upgrade to AA+ (Stable) by both CRISIL and ICRA.
