The company in a regulatory filing said that the rise in revenue was driven by increase in average realisation for both Aluminium and Copper, along with weaker rupee and higher aluminium volumes. 

"Aluminium revenue grew by 9% on the back of strong volume growth and realisation. Copper revenue increased by 19% on account of higher copper realisation, partley negated by lower by-product prices," the company said. 

Soon after the announcement of financial result, the shares of the company rose by 2%. At 1412 hours the shares of the company were trading at Rs 185.50 per piece, up 1.92% or Rs 3.10 on BSE.
