Novelis Secures $750m Equity Infusion via AV Minerals Subscription

said its wholly owned US subsidiary, Novelis Inc., has signed a share subscription agreement with AV Minerals N.V. (Novelis’ sole shareholder and a Hindalco subsidiary) to raise $750 million in fresh capital. The funding is structured as an equity subscription rather than external borrowing, with AV Minerals committing to buy 5,000,000 Novelis common shares at $150 per share. The company indicated the transaction has been filed with the US SEC through a Form 8-K, signalling a formal disclosure of the capital-raising step. Management commentary cited in coverage suggests Hindalco expects FY27 (2026–27) to be a stronger period for Novelis as operations normalise, with an internal target of about $500 per tonne EBITDA. The growth narrative is also linked to Novelis’ Bay Minette project in the US, described as adding 600,000 tonnes of capacity with potential expansion to 1.2 million tonnes, positioning the business for higher domestic-market supply amid a more restrictive tariff environment for imports.
