From Hindalco Inds.'s Q2 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 16 Oct 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Novelis expects aluminum demand growth in the range of 3% to 5%, driven by sustainability and lightweighting trends.
Beverage packaging shipments are growing, with a 3% increase year-to-date, supported by favorable package mix shifts toward aluminum.
Automotive demand is strong in North America, especially SUVs and pickup trucks that use higher aluminum content, though growth is softer in Europe and China due to smaller vehicles with less aluminum.
Bay Minette plant commissioning in the second half of fiscal 2026 is expected to bring increased capacity, with initial volumes starting in fiscal 2028.
The Oswego plant fire will cause near-term volume loss but is expected to recover over the next few quarters.
