Vedanta Limited has reported its highest-ever annual aluminium and alumina production for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company’s alumina production surged by 48% year-on-year (YoY) to 2,916 kilotonnes (kt), while aluminium production reached 2,456 kt, marking a 1% increase YoY.
In its Zinc India segment, Vedanta achieved record annual mined metal production of 1,114 kt, a 2% increase YoY. The fourth quarter (Q4) alone saw mined metal production rise by 2% YoY to 315 kt, driven by higher ore production and improved grades. Refined zinc metal production also hit a record high, with Q4 output at 227 kt, up 6% YoY, contributing to a full-year total of 851 kt, a 3% increase YoY.
Silver production in Q4 increased by 11% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 176 tonnes, bringing the full-year volume to 627 tonnes. The company also reported record annual production figures for IOB pig iron at 895 kt, a 10% rise YoY, copper cathode at 170 kt, up 15% YoY, and ferro chrome at 101 kt, a 21% increase YoY.
In the power segment, Vedanta’s Q4 sales rose by 43% YoY, bolstered by strong operational performances at its Athena and Meenakshi plants.
Zinc International’s total mined metal production for the year stood at 225 kt, a 27% increase YoY, despite a 3% YoY decline in Q4 production to 49 kt due to lower feed grades and lead recovery.
In the oil and gas sector, Vedanta reported an average daily gross operated production of 87.2 kilo barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd) for the year, a 16% decrease YoY. The decline was attributed to reduced production across its Rajasthan, Ravva, and Cambay fields.
