NALCO delivered strong Q1 FY27 results: total income rose 39% to INR 5,400 Cr, with EBITDA up 78% and PBT up 88%. This performance was supported by best-ever Q1 bauxite, hydrate, and wind power production. The 5th Stream alumina refinery is set for mechanical completion by September, targeting 0.2 million tons addition this fiscal. Plans include a 0.5 million ton smelter and 1,000 MW power plant (JV with NLC) by Dec 2030, involving INR 25,000 Cr capex. Rising raw material costs are expected to be offset by higher alumina spot prices (projected $370-380). With INR 10,500 Cr net cash, the company remains focused on growth and efficiency. Management conveys a confident outlook.
