New Delhi, May 21: State-owned NALCO on Wednesday reported a more than two-fold jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 2,067.23 crore for the March quarter 2025 on the back of higher revenue from operations.
The company had posted a profit of Rs 996.74 crore in the same period a year ago, National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO) said in a BSE filing.
Revenue from operations in January-March FY25 rose to Rs 5,267.83 crore from Rs 3,579.05 crore a year ago.
The PSU’s profit in FY25 rose to Rs 5,267.94 crore from Rs 1,988.46 crore in FY24. Revenue from operations grew to Rs 16,787.63 crore from Rs 13,149.15 crore.
Due to strong aluminium and alumina prices, streamlined operations, improved efficiency and momentum in expansion projects, NALCO has been able to continue its growth trajectory supported by robust growth across all its business units and profit margins, the company said in a statement.
In FY25, the company achieved highest ever bauxite excavation of 76.48 lakh tonnes and highest ever domestic sales of 4.55 lakh tonnes.
CMD Brijendra Pratap Singh said the company’s growth gained significant momentum in the third and fourth quarters of FY25, which is clearly reflected in the company’s robust financial performance and strong revenue growth.
He added, “Increased efficiency, cost optimization and unwavering commitment of employees have played a key role in enabling NALCO to maintain competitive pricing in a dynamic market environment. In addition, NALCO’s strategic focus on process improvements has fostered a motivated, performance-driven workforce.” With aluminium prices on the upside and demand steadily increasing, the PSU is well positioned to maintain its growth momentum.
Looking ahead, Singh underscored the company’s commitment to long-term sustainable growth through strategic expansion, including the fifth stream expansion of the alumina refinery, operationalization of the Pottangi bauxite mines and proposed expansion of the existing smelter plant and captive power plant.
These initiatives are set to provide a strong foundation for sustainable and resilient growth, which will further strengthen NALCO’s position in the global aluminium sector.
