Hindalco Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, reported a 51% decline in consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, to Rs 2,597 crore, compared to Rs 5,301 crore in the same period last year. The drop was attributed to one-time expenses related to a fire disruption at its US-based subsidiary Novelis.
The company's revenue from operations fell marginally to Rs 56,432 crore from Rs 56,789 crore in the year-ago quarter. EBITDA declined 13% to Rs 6,878 crore, with margins contracting to 12.2% from 13.9%.
Hindalco's board declared a dividend of Rs 5 per share for the financial year 2025-26. The company's Novelis unit faced a fire at its plant in Kentucky, USA, in March 2026, which led to operational disruptions and one-time costs impacting the quarterly results.
For the full fiscal year 2025-26, Hindalco reported a net profit of Rs 10,234 crore, down from Rs 11,256 crore in the previous year. Revenue for the year stood at Rs 2,21,456 crore, compared to Rs 2,18,789 crore in FY25.
