Hindalco Industries, the metals business of the Aditya Birla Group, has earmarked between ₹7,500 crore and ₹8,000 crore for capital expenditure in the financial year 2024–25, according to a regulatory disclosure and company statements following its fourth-quarter earnings announcement. Managing Director Satish Pai shared the outlook during a post-results conference call, noting that this year’s planned investment will focus on ongoing and future projects across the company’s operations.
“This year’s capex guidance is around ₹7,500 to ₹8,000 crore,” Pai stated. Addressing expectations for FY26, he added, “Next year will likely see peak spending as several upstream projects begin to move forward. We’ll provide a clearer estimate in the third quarter of this year, once cash flow requirements are fully assessed.” Hindalco invested ₹6,500 crore in capital projects in the previous financial year.
On the financial front, Hindalco reported a 66% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for the quarter ended March 2025, reaching ₹5,284 crore. This growth was largely driven by improved performance in its Indian operations, supported by favourable market conditions and reduced input costs. In the same quarter last year, net profit stood at ₹3,174 crore.
Revenue from operations for the quarter increased to ₹64,890 crore, compared to ₹55,994 crore during the same period last year. For the full year ended March 2025, consolidated net profit rose to ₹16,002 crore, up from ₹10,155 crore in FY24. Annual revenue from operations also grew, reaching ₹2,38,496 crore compared to ₹2,15,962 crore in the previous year.
