Hindalco said it has secured around 25% of its coal requirement in the recently concluded coal linkage auctions, at a reasonable premium to government notified price. This, along with the existing linkage for Renusagar power plant and captive coal mines will provide adequate coal security and good visibility to power cost for aluminium production, Hindalco said. This is significant development, considering the company's cost competitive alumina value chain, including Utkal Alumina, which will help bolster its cost competitiveness, the company said in a statement.
The company said that it has delivered a robust operational performance in adverse macroeconomic conditions. Its operational performance was also supported by deflationary energy prices, the company said. Hindalco said that the high level of imports continue to impact domestic sales volumes. The company continues to focus on operational excellence, higher value addition, customer centricity and cash conversation to tide over these issues, Hindalco said in a statement.
A part of the Aditya Birla Group, Hindalco Industries is the world's largest aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter is amongst the largest single location custom smelter globally.
