Navratna CPSE National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO) has created history by posting its highest-ever net profit and revenue from operations since its inception, as per the audited financial results for FY25 approved by its Board of Directors on Wednesday.

NALCO achieved a landmark net profit of Rs. 5,325 crore in FY25, marking an impressive 158 per cent year-on-year growth. The company’s revenue from operations also soared to an all-time high of Rs. 16,788 crore. The fourth quarter alone saw a remarkable net profit of Rs. 2,078 crore, up 105 per cent from Rs. 1,016 crore in the same quarter last year, while quarterly revenue stood at Rs. 5,268 crore, a substantial increase from Rs. 3,579 crore in Q4 FY24.

The company’s outstanding financial performance was driven by a combination of strong aluminium and alumina prices, operational efficiencies, and accelerated progress in key expansion projects. NALCO recorded its highest-ever bauxite excavation at 76.48 lakh tonnes and domestic metal sales reached a record 4.55 lakh tonnes in FY25.

Appreciating the milestone, NALCO Chairman & Managing Director Brijendra Pratap Singh said, “The Company’s growth gained significant momentum in the third and fourth quarters of FY25, which is clearly reflected in our robust financial performance and strong revenue growth. Enhancing efficiency, cost optimization and unwavering commitment of employees have played a key role in enabling NALCO to maintain competitive pricing in a dynamic market environment. Moreover, NALCO’s strategic focus on process improvements has fostered a motivated, performance-driven workforce.”

Looking ahead, CMD Singh emphasized the company’s dedication to sustainable long-term growth through ongoing strategic initiatives, including the 5th Stream expansion of the Alumina Refinery, operationalization of the Pottangi Bauxite Mines, and proposed expansions of the Smelter Plant and Captive Power Plant. These projects aim to solidify NALCO’s position as a global leader in the aluminium sector.

“With aluminium prices firming up and demand steadily increasing, NALCO is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory,” he added.
