Aluminium
The Korba smelters produced 88,000 tonnes of metal in the current quarter, higher than their rated capacity. Both the Korba smelters have consistently produced at these levels for the last two quarters. The new smelter produced over 62,000 tonnes of hot metal during the quarter and has consistently performed at these levels for three consecutive quarters.
Q1 revenues were Rs. 10,553 million and EBITDA was Rs. 4,179 million. Sales volumes were largely in-line with the production volumes during the quarter and the costs too were largely stable. The increase in revenues and EBITDA, as compared to the corresponding prior quarter, was primarily on account of higher volumes from the new Korba smelter and better LME prices partially offset by appreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. EBITDA was higher in the preceding quarter due to additional sales of inventory which had built up during the course of last year.
During the quarter our operating costs have been stable. However, the global alumina prices have seen an upward trend in the first quarter of the current fiscal which has impacted our cost.
BALCO was recently awarded the coveted President of India’s Nirmal Gram Award for its sanitation project in Korba by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India.
Copper
During the quarter copper cathode production at our Tuticorin plant was 81,000 tonnes. This is comparable with the preceding quarter except for the effect of the planned maintenance shutdown in April 2007.
Q1 revenue was Rs. 31,139 million as compared with Rs. 23,734 million in the corresponding prior quarter, primarily due to higher volumes and higher metal prices. EBITDA was Rs. 3,825 million as compared to Rs. 4,488 million in the corresponding quarter last year, primarily due to lower TCRC realisations considering the current market environment and lower dispatches from our captive mines.
Sterlite was recently awarded the ‘Excellent Energy Efficient Unit’ award by the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Zinc
The mined metal production at 134,000 tonnes during the quarter is the highest ever quarterly production. The refined zinc production during the quarter was 93,000 tonnes. The production from the Chanderiya Hydro smelter was around 41,000 tonnes, the highest ever quarterly production.
Sales during the current quarter were augmented by sales of about 50,000 dry metric tonnes of zinc concentrate and about 5,000 dry metric tonnes of lead concentrate.
Q1 revenues were Rs. 19,699 million as compared to Rs. 16,094 million in the corresponding prior quarter and EBITDA was Rs. 17,058 million as compared to Rs. 12,827 million in the corresponding prior quarter. The increase in revenue and EBITDA was primarily on account of

higher volumes from the new Chanderiya smelter and higher metal prices, partially offset by appreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar.
Projects Update
Commercial Energy
Work on the 2,400 MW (4X600 MW) coal based independent thermal power plant has commenced. An EPC contract has been released and the construction work is going at full swing. Overall the project is on schedule for progressive commissioning from late 2009 as announced.
Zinc
The construction activities for the second 170,000 tpa smelter at Chanderiya with its associated captive power plant are in full swing, with all orders placed. The roaster plant, which is the first stage of the smelting process, has been commissioned. The leaching and purification plant and the cell house plant are also on track. Similarly work on the captive power plant and at the Agucha concentrator, to raise the milling capacity to 5.0 million tpa, is progressing well. The progress on the overall project is good and we expect to commission the project as scheduled by early 2008.
The Wind Energy project at Karnataka, Gujarat and Maharashtra, totaling 110.4 MW, is progressing as per schedule. Post completion of these projects, the company will have a total wind power capacity of 148.8 MW.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” — that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should” or “will.” Forward–looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, uncertainties arise from the behaviour of financial and metals markets including the London Metal Exchange, fluctuations in interest and or exchange rates and metal prices; from future integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different that those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
