Hindalco's Q1 FY24 consolidated revenue was INR 52,991 crore, down 5% sequentially, while EBITDA rose 5% QoQ to INR 6,109 crore, driven by recovery at Novelis and India downstream. Novelis EBITDA per ton improved 11% sequentially to $479, supported by cost control and favorable mix. India upstream EBITDA margins remained strong at 24%, though EBITDA per ton fell to $691. Copper delivered record shipments of 118 KT, but EBITDA declined 11% QoQ due to a planned shutdown. Management expects Q2 costs to decline further by 3% as linkage coal share rises to 57-60%. Novelis guidance points to EBITDA per ton of $450-500 in the near term, with confidence in reaching $525 by Q4. Key risks include LME aluminum price volatility (range $2,100-2,300/ton) and delays in coal mine allocations (Chakla, Meenakshi).
