Send Push
Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Ltd on Thursday reported record production figures across key business verticals for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the company said in a regulatory filing.

Vedanta achieved historic highs in aluminium and zinc production while also recording strong growth in iron ore, steel, oil and gas, and power sales.

Annual aluminium production saw a 2% increase year-on-year, reaching 2,421 kt, while fourth-quarter output grew 1%.

Alumina production saw a 9% annual rise, supported by expansion projects, though quarterly output was impacted by temporary supply chain disruptions, the company said.

While Zinc India achieved its highest-ever mined metal production at 1,095 kt and refined metal production at 1,052 kt, both up 2% year-on-year, Copper India’s fourth-quarter production increased 41% year-on-year, contributing to a 6% annual rise.

Total Mined Metal production jumped 52% YoY and 9% sequentially in the fourth quarter due to higher tonnes treated at Gamsberg, higher BMM lead and zinc grades. Gamsberg’s fourth-quarter production surged 89% from the previous year and 15% sequentially due to improved recoveries.

Oil and gas production from OALP blocks reached 3.5 kboepd in the quarter, aided by the ramp-up at the Jaya discovery, while annual average gross operated production across assets stood at 103.2 kboepd. Power sales in the fourth quarter saw an 18% sequential surge, with TSPL’s annual power sales reaching 10,230 million units at an 81% plant availability factor.

Iron ore production rose 36% sequentially in the fourth quarter while pig iron production reached a record high, registering a 4% year-on-year increase. Steel production also showed positive momentum, aided by operational efficiencies and higher hot metal production. Total saleable output rose 4% year-on-year and 8% sequentially.

Shares of Vedanta Ltd ended at Rs 439.55, down by Rs 17.75, or 3.88%, on the BSE.
