The Copper business achieved another record quarterly EBITDA. Novelis’ global footprint allowed the company to achieve record beverage packaging shipments, partially offsetting the impact from the flooding-related outage at Sierre.

During the quarter, we made significant progress across our growth projects in India Business and Novelis. Our company’s robust cash flow generation enabled us to maintain a consolidated net debt-toEBITDA ratio below 1.2x.

Notably, Hindalco has been recognized as the World`s Most Sustainable Aluminium Company for the fifth consecutive year in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment rankings 2024, achieving a score of 87 out of 100—up 9 points from last year’s score, and our highest score till date.
