Hindalco Industries subsidiary, Novelis, is expected to face margin pressures due to factors such as weak demand in the building and construction segment, destocking in the can segment, and low aluminum prices. Kotak Institutional Equities maintains an add rating for Hindalco s shares, but believes that the stock will remain under pressure in the near term. Novelis is projected to have earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization of $444 per tonne in 2023-24 and $475 per tonne in 2024-25. The demand for cans is expected to remain weak, but the automobile segment continues to show strength.
