Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has emerged as the second-largest exporter of goods from India’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The company’s SEZ facility in Jharsuguda, Odisha, contributed around US$3.5 billion in exports during FY2025-26, accounting for approximately 6% of India’s total SEZ goods exports.
The milestone comes as India’s SEZs continue to play an important role in the country’s international trade. According to trade data compiled by the Export Promotion Council for EOUs & SEZs (EPCES), services accounted for more than 60% of combined SEZ exports during the latest reporting period, while goods exports contributed the remaining share.
Vedanta Aluminium supplies customers in more than 60 countries, including markets across Europe, the United States, Japan and Southeast Asia. Its exports cater to industries such as automotive, aerospace, electrical, construction and packaging, where customers require products that meet stringent quality, environmental and compliance standards.
Rajesh Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said: “This achievement reflects the consistent quality of our aluminium products and our ability to meet the requirements of customers in global markets. As SEZs become increasingly important to India’s trade and manufacturing ambitions, we remain focused on strengthening our capabilities and supporting the country’s goal of becoming a global manufacturing and export hub.”
Vedanta Aluminium’s export portfolio includes a wide range of primary and value-added aluminium products. These include billets, wire rods, rolled products, primary foundry alloys and ingots, along with its low-carbon Restora aluminium range. These products are used in several industries, including automotive, aerospace, electrical equipment, construction and packaging. Demand is also growing from emerging sectors such as renewable energy, electric mobility, artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centres.
India’s SEZs recorded around US$134.4 billion in combined goods and services exports between April and December 2025, according to the figures cited by the company. Services exports accounted for approximately US$84.5 billion, or nearly 63%, while goods exports stood at around US$49.9 billion, representing about 37%.
The export performance highlights the growing contribution of manufacturing alongside services to India’s international trade. Vedanta Aluminium’s position among the leading SEZ goods exporters reflects the role of India’s metals and manufacturing sector in supporting the country’s export growth.
