For the aluminium segment, the company reports robust operational performance in a challenging macroeconomic environment on account of the improvement in efficiency and lower input costs. The quarter also reported improved visibility over coal sourcing and cost was managed well throughout. The company was able to secure the major part of the coal requirement secured through coal allocation.

Hindalco reported a 19% increase YOY in aluminium production to 321 KT (Kilo Tonne), which is attributed to well-planned cost efficiencies achieved across all its plants. Inputs costs were largely supportive though crude derivative prices were tight in comparison to last quarter.

Higher production and the stabilisation of its overall operations resulted in a higher EBITDA of INR 808 crore in the second quarter, an increase of 192% over the same period of 2015. For the first half of FY2017 that ended in September 30, 2016, aluminium production was at 687 KT registering a growth of 14% in comparison to the same period of 2016. The growth was due to the ramp up that was taken up in new plants to designated capacities.

Aluminium Value Added Products (FRP and Extrusions) - up 8%, Wire Rod Production increased 36% reflecting the Company's focus on power and other growth sectors.

Improved performance during the quarter was also supported by low energy prices and slow recovery in the LME aluminium prices. The volatility in the market is still present and the market is still not free from challenges. The price recovery is also dependent on Chinese capacity ramp up and restarting of closed capacity. The high level of imports of aluminium from China and the Middle East continue to affect domestic sales volumes. Hindalco hopes to remain focussed on operational excellence, higher value added products, cash conservation and customer centric business to survive the challenging macroeconomic conditions.
