Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited has commenced trading as an independent company on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), marking a significant milestone following the completion of Vedanta Group’s demerger. Effective from May 1, 2026, the restructuring has created a focused aluminium business with an independent identity, enabling the company to pursue long-term growth with greater operational and strategic flexibility.
The listing establishes Vedanta Aluminium as a pure-play aluminium producer with a clear focus on expanding capacity, enhancing product offerings, and strengthening its global market presence. The company currently contributes nearly half of India’s aluminium production and serves customers across more than 60 countries. It has outlined an ambitious roadmap to expand its production capacity to 60 lakh tonnes per annum, supported by integrated operations, cost-efficient manufacturing, and investments across the aluminium value chain.
Speaking on the development, Rajesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vedanta Aluminium, said the independent listing marks a defining chapter in the company’s growth journey. He noted that aluminium is emerging as one of the most critical materials supporting global industrial transformation, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and transportation. The company aims to build a technology-driven and globally competitive business capable of delivering sustainable value to customers, investors, and stakeholders.
Vedanta Aluminium operates one of the world’s largest alumina refineries at Lanjigarh in Odisha, one of the largest aluminium smelters at Jharsuguda, and Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) at Korba in Chhattisgarh. These operations are supported by captive bauxite and coal resources as well as nearly 4.5 GW of captive power generation capacity, providing the company with significant cost and supply advantages.
The company continues to strengthen its downstream product portfolio, supplying billets, wire rods, primary foundry alloys, rolled products, aluminium-silicon products, and other specialised offerings for sectors including electric vehicles, renewable energy, aerospace, defence, infrastructure, and engineering. It expects value-added products to account for nearly 90% of its overall portfolio over time. Its digital platform, Vedanta Metal Bazaar, further supports customers with streamlined procurement and improved market access.
Sustainability remains central to the company’s long-term strategy. Vedanta Aluminium continues to expand its portfolio of low-carbon aluminium products under the Restora brand while increasing renewable energy usage, improving energy efficiency, and advancing circular economy initiatives. The company has also invested in water conservation, biodiversity management, and recycling initiatives to support responsible manufacturing.
Alongside its industrial expansion, Vedanta Aluminium is developing the Vedanta Aluminium Park in partnership with the Government of Odisha to strengthen India’s downstream aluminium ecosystem. The initiative will enable MSMEs and manufacturing enterprises to establish facilities close to the company’s operations, providing direct access to molten aluminium, lowering logistics costs, reducing energy consumption, and encouraging greater value addition within the domestic manufacturing sector.
The company also continues to invest in education, healthcare, livelihood development, and women’s empowerment programmes across communities surrounding its operations. With its independent listing now complete, Vedanta Aluminium enters its next phase focused on capacity expansion, technological advancement, sustainable operations, and creating long-term value for shareholders while supporting India’s ambition of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse.
