Shares of National Aluminium Company (NALCO) jumped over 4% to ₹344.85 apiece, a fresh 52-week high, on the NSE in Tuesday’s trading session after global aluminium prices rallied to a new record level.
Aluminium prices surged past $3,000-per-tonne at LME amid constrained supply, with limits on smelting capacity in China and output curbs in Europe stemming from high power costs, tightening global inventories. Meanwhile, demand remains resilient, underpinned by steady consumption from the construction and renewable energy sectors, according to a Bloomberg report.
Since NALCO is a major aluminium producer in India, a rise in prices can improve the topline of the company.

The company had reported a net profit of ₹1,430 crore for the second quarter of the financial year, marking a 37% year-on-year (YoY) increase, aided by firm aluminium prices. Revenue from operations grew 7.2% to ₹4,293 crore.
“We have demonstrated resilience through operational excellence, cost-saving measures, and sustained productivity, supported by higher volumes and improved efficiency, despite lower sales realisation from metal prices. Going forward, we remain focused on value addition, sustainability, and expanding our production capacities to ensure long-term growth and value creation for all stakeholders,” said Brijendra Pratap Singh, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, NALCO.
