Novelis Inc.’s results brought cheer to the shareholders of its Indian parent company Hindalco Industries Ltd. Hindalco's shares raced passed its competitors' in the metals market after the announcement.

Analysts opine that the next trigger for the Indian aluminium producer will be the stand-alone results that would reflect its domestic operations. There, the aluminium business, they say, should benefit from better realizations.
