Aditya Holdings LLC, incorporated just weeks earlier on June 3, 2025, is positioned within the metals sector and is set to engage in manufacturing, processing and trading of metal products, alloys, and by-products — spanning aluminium, copper, and both metallurgical and non-metallurgical alumina.
According to Hindalco’s stock exchange filing, the transaction is not classified as a related party deal. None of the promoters, promoter group entities, or related parties have any financial interest in the acquisition. The move is instead geared toward long-term global growth, aligned with the company’s strategy to reinforce its leadership in high-value downstream segments.
The announcement came and concurrently Hindalco’s stock rose 1.84 per cent to INR 653.25 (USD 7.82), riding on investor optimism around the acquisition and the company’s broader financial performance.
Just a month ago, on May 21, 2025, the Aditya Birla Group-owned company acquired 100 per cent equity in EMIL Mines and Mineral Resources Ltd. (EMMRL). The acquisition is a strategic step aimed at securing a long-term, reliable coal supply for Hindalco’s aluminium smelters, ensuring uninterrupted production in an increasingly competitive and energy-intensive industry.
The company had also announced in its annual general meeting on August 22, 2024 that it would invest USD10 billion in capacity expansions. Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla distinctly outlined his plans for ongoing and near-term projects related to aluminium and copper smelters, including the Aditya flat-rolled product plant, a new alumina refinery in Rayadaga, and the Bay Minnette expansion in Novelis.
A metals powerhouse under the Aditya Birla Group, Hindalco Industries is currently the world’s largest aluminium rolling and recycling company and one of Asia’s top primary aluminium producers. In copper, it holds a dominant position in the Indian market. Hindalco’s Indian operations reflect a fully integrated manufacturing model, covering bauxite mining, alumina refining, coal mining, captive power generation, aluminium smelting, rolling, extrusion, and foil production.
This seamless integration has helped the company achieve aluminium metal purity as high as 99.98 per cent, enabling it to meet stringent quality standards required in sensitive applications such as defence, aerospace, and advanced scientific instrumentation. Through its joint venture Hindalco-Almex Aerospace Limited (HAAL), the company has supplied critical materials for major national space missions including Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1. HAAL was launched as a strategic "Atmanirbhar Bharat" initiative to develop indigenous capabilities in aerospace-grade aluminium billets and extrusions.
Financially, the company closed Q4 FY25 on a strong note, with consolidated net profit surging 66.4 per cent year-on-year to INR 5,283 crore (USD 632.87 million). Revenue from operations rose 15.9 per cent to INR 64,890 crore (USD 7.77 billion), a sturdy performance across segments and geographies.
