National Aluminium Company Limited (Nalco), a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Mines, posted a twofold rise in consolidated net profit to ₹2,067.23 crore for the quarter ended March 2025 (Q4FY25), up from ₹996.74 crore in the same period last year. The sharp surge in profit was driven by higher operational revenue, improved efficiency, and favorable market conditions for aluminium and alumina.
The company’s revenue from operations rose to ₹5,267.83 crore in Q4FY25, compared to ₹3,579.05 crore in the year-ago quarter, according to a filing with the BSE.
For the full financial year FY25, Nalco’s consolidated net profit jumped to ₹5,267.94 crore, more than doubling from ₹1,988.46 crore in FY24. Annual revenue from operations also increased to ₹16,787.63 crore, up from ₹13,149.15 crore in the previous fiscal.
In a statement, Nalco attributed the performance to strong aluminium and alumina prices, streamlined operations, and momentum in its expansion projects. The PSU reported record achievements, including the highest-ever bauxite excavation of 76.48 lakh tonnes and record domestic sales of 4.55 lakh tonnes in FY25.
Nalco Chairman and Managing Director Brijendra Pratap Singh highlighted the company’s robust performance in the latter half of the fiscal. “Enhancing efficiency, cost optimization, and the unwavering commitment of employees have been pivotal in maintaining competitive pricing in a dynamic market,” he said.
He also emphasized the company’s strategic focus on process improvements, which has helped build a performance-driven and motivated workforce.
Looking ahead, Singh reaffirmed Nalco’s commitment to long-term sustainable growth through key strategic initiatives, including:
1)The fifth stream expansion of the alumina refinery
2)Operationalisation of the Pottangi bauxite mines
3)Expansion of the existing smelter plant and captive power plant
With aluminium prices firming up and global demand on the rise, Nalco is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory, reinforcing its role as a major player in the global aluminium market.
