NALCO management held a one-on-one call with Anand Rathi, guiding FY26 EBITDA margin at around 36% (versus an exceptional 46% in FY25) and revenue of over Rs 15,000 crore. Average alumina realisation is expected at $400-430 per tonne with LME around $2,540, and the company plans to lift calcined alumina output by 2 lakh tonnes to 22.5 lakh tonnes, with extra alumina volume adding Rs 280-300 crore in margin. Indigenous coal production is being raised from 2.8 million tonnes to 4 million tonnes, which should save another Rs 150-200 crore. The new 1 million tonne alumina refinery is delayed — mechanical work is now expected by January-February with commercial production only by April-May 2026, contributing nothing in FY26. The 0.5 million tonne smelter expansion is also progressing, with land acquisition 5-6 months away and commissioning targeted in 3-4 years.
FY26 margin guidance of 36% is a step down from FY25's 46% and may temper near-term street expectations, but the company's low-cost bauxite and power advantage, rising alumina volumes, and long-term smelter expansion plan support a constructive long-term thesis for shareholders.
