Vedanta Aluminium reported Q2 QoQ volume growth of 3% in aluminium and 6% in alumina, driven by automotive, billets extrusion, and construction demand. The company plans to reduce aluminium metal production costs by $200 per tonne over the next 4-5 quarters via higher captive alumina, bauxite, and coal mix. Production is planned at 2.65 million tonnes this year, rising toward 3 million tonnes next year with existing debottlenecking, and doubling after new facilities. Net debt is expected to decline by at least 50% in the next two quarters aided by healthy operating cash flows.
