Production release for the quarter ended September 30, 2026

The company announced its production numbers for the quarter and the half year ended September 30, 2026.

The volume picture

• Aluminium: 649 KT in 2Q FY27, up 5% year-on-year; 1281 KT for the half year.
• Alumina: 895 KT in 2Q FY27, up 37% year-on-year.
• Value-added products: 432 KT in 2Q FY27, up 31% year-on-year.
• Power sales at BALCO: 491 Million Units in 2Q FY27, up 58% year-on-year.
• BALCO aluminium: 178 KT in 2Q FY27, up 19% year-on-year.

What the company says drove it

• Highest-ever quarterly and half-yearly aluminium production, with new smelter volumes supported by the efficiency of existing lines.
• BALCO commissioned the second zone of its pioneering smelter potline, described as the first of its kind in the world (ex-China), taking operational capacity to 50% of the planned expansion.
• Record quarterly and half-yearly alumina production, reflecting the ramp-up and stabilisation of the expansion circuit.
• Value-added production capabilities were enhanced over the last two quarters in response to the accelerating Asian automotive segment and growing domestic downstream demand.
• Consent to Operate (CTO) has been obtained for the Sijimali Bauxite Block.

How to read this

• This is a production volume update, not the profit and loss account. Volumes tell you how much metal and alumina was produced; they do not by themselves say at what price it was sold or at what cost it was made, so the financial outcome also depends on prices and input costs.
• Growth in alumina and in value-added products is faster than in aluminium, and BALCO's aluminium volumes are growing faster than at the older Jharsuguda smelter, where output was broadly flat.
• The company notes that the value-added production figures for earlier periods have been restated for a like-to-like comparison, so the growth is measured on a consistent basis.
• The release carries a forward-looking statement disclaimer, noting that actual future results may differ materially from those expressed.
