Motilal Oswal maintains a Buy rating on Vedanta Aluminium with a target price of ₹540 per share, implying 21% upside from the stock's previous closing price of ₹448, according to The Economic Times. The brokerage expects the company to enter a strong earnings inflection point with EBITDA projected to grow at 18% CAGR over FY26-28, supported by higher volumes, cost efficiencies, greater value-added production and favourable aluminium market dynamics. Motilal Oswal forecasts the company's consolidated revenue/EBITDA/PAT to expand at around 11%, 18% and 23% CAGR respectively over FY26-28, driven by volume growth, margin expansion, and increasing downstream contribution. The brokerage highlights the company's ongoing backward integration, rising contribution from value-added products, and robust domestic demand outlook as key growth drivers. The global aluminium market is structurally tightening due to China's production cap, supply disruptions in Europe and Russia, and years of underinvestment outside China, while India's robust demand growth and significant import substitution opportunities create a favourable outlook.
According to Motilal Oswal, India offers an equally compelling long-term opportunity as domestic aluminium demand is expected to grow at 8-9% CAGR and reach 8-8.5MT by FY30, driven by infrastructure development, electrification, automotive demand, renewable energy investments, and manufacturing growth. The country's persistent aluminium import dependence further creates a sizeable import substitution opportunity for domestic producers. As per The Economic Times, the brokerage notes that India's domestic aluminium demand is expected to grow at an 8-9% CAGR and reach 8-8.5MT by FY30, driven by infrastructure development, electrification, automotive demand, renewable energy investments, and manufacturing growth. This structural demand growth, combined with the company's ongoing backward integration and rising contribution from value-added products, provides strong visibility on earnings growth and cash flow generation over the medium term.
