“Macroeconomic headwinds still persist and uncertain global macro factors pose several challenges for the market. The price recovery has started due to imminent Chinese capacity additions and smelter restarts,” the company told BSE.
The company reported flat growth in revenue from operations on a year-on-year (YoY) basis to Rs 9,562 crore from Rs 9,561 crore reported for the year-ago quarter. The company said the impact of 10 per cent jump in revenue from the aluminium business was offset by a 9 per cent drop in copper business revenues.
