Vedanta has invested over $1 billion in net-zero transition initiatives over the past five years, helping avoid approximately 36 million tonnes of carbon emissions since FY2021. The company's greenhouse gas emissions intensity across its metals and mining production declined by around 14% from the FY2020-21 baseline. Renewable energy utilization jumped 52% year-on-year to 4 billion units in FY2025-26, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 3 crore Indian households. Vedanta currently has nearly 2,000 MW of installed and contracted renewable energy capacity and targets 2.5 GW of round-the-clock renewable energy by 2030. The company is also positioning its metals portfolio, including copper, aluminium, zinc, and steel, to benefit from the global shift toward clean energy and electrification. Lower-carbon products like Vedanta Aluminium's Restora and Hindustan Zinc's EcoZen are already in use, with EcoZen customers avoiding approximately 8,268 tonnes of carbon emissions in FY2025-26.
