Feb 12 (Reuters) - India's Hindalco Industries HALC.NS posted a 45% fall in its third-quarter profit on Thursday despite firmer aluminium and copper prices, as higher costs and disruptions at its U.S. unit Novelis weighed on its performance.

The Aditya Birla Group-owned metals producer reported a consolidated net profit of 20.49 billion rupees for the three months ended December 31, compared with 37.35 billion rupees a year earlier.
