Vedanta Limited reported robust operational performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with record production figures in several segments. The company highlighted record quarterly alumina production at its Lanjigarh refinery and significant growth at its zinc operations, despite some softness in oil & gas output.
Key highlights:
-
Aluminium: Alumina production at Lanjigarh rose to a record 587,000 tonnes, up 9% year-on-year (YoY) and 36% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). Total aluminium production stood at 605,000 tonnes, marginally higher YoY.
-
Zinc India: Mined metal production hit a first-quarter record at 265,000 tonnes, up 1% YoY. However, refined metal production dropped 5% YoY to 250,000 tonnes due to maintenance.
-
Zinc International: Mined metal production surged 50% YoY and 12% QoQ, driven by strong performance at the Gamsberg mine (+74% YoY).
-
Iron ore: Saleable ore production increased 42% YoY to 1.8 million tonnes, supported by operational ramp-ups in Karnataka and Goa.
-
Ferro Chrome & Steel: Ferro Chrome output jumped 150% QoQ to 28,000 tonnes, while finished steel production was down slightly at 349,000 tonnes due to maintenance.
-
Oil & Gas: Average gross operated production declined 17% YoY to 93,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), mainly due to lower output in Rajasthan and Ravva fields.
-
Power: Total power sales rose 11% QoQ to 4,289 million units, supported by higher availability and improved performance at the Meenakshi plant.
Commenting on the performance, the company noted that improvements in raw material supply chains and operational efficiencies helped achieve record outputs in alumina, zinc, and ferrochrome. The ramp-up of mines and better plant utilization were key contributors.
Vedanta reiterated its focus on sustainable growth, maintaining its leadership in critical minerals and metals production while progressing toward its net-zero goals by 2050.
