[SMM Aluminum Flash News] Analysts Turn Bullish on Hindalco and Vedanta Amid Tightening Aluminium Market

Published: Jul 2, 2026 14:36
Analysts remain optimistic on India's leading aluminum producers Hindalco Industries and Vedanta Aluminum, expecting their shares to rise around 20% over the next 9-12 months. Vedanta is projected to benefit from lower production costs, higher output and stronger cash flow, while Hindalco is expected to gain from Novelis' earnings recovery and upstream capacity expansions scheduled for 2028-2029. Although LME aluminum prices have corrected about 17% from recent highs, analysts believe tightening market fundamentals will continue to support prices. Industry estimates suggest the global aluminum deficit for 2026 has widened from 0.3 million tones to 1.5 million tones, providing positive support for aluminum producers.
