Mumbai, 19 September 2025: Hindalco Industries Ltd (NSE: HINDALCO, BSE: 500440) announced on Friday that its wholly owned subsidiary, Novelis Inc., has finalised a financing arrangement involving the issue of $100 million municipal bonds, while simultaneously amending its existing term loan facility.
