Marking Rajasthan Diwas, Vedanta Group announced a fresh investment of ₹1 lakh crore in the state, reinforcing its long-term commitment to driving industrial growth and economic development. This investment builds on more than ₹1.5 lakh crore already deployed across metals, oil & gas, and energy sectors, positioning Rajasthan as a key contributor to India’s growth story.
Through its flagship companies, Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) and Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta continues to play a central role in shaping Rajasthan’s economic landscape. Over the past decade, the Group has contributed nearly ₹3 lakh crore to the national and state exchequers, while supporting Rajasthan’s emergence as a preferred destination for large-scale industrial expansion.
Vedanta’s operations span resource development and energy production, strengthening both industrial output and energy security. Hindustan Zinc contributes nearly one-third of Rajasthan’s total mining royalty, while Cairn’s Barmer-Sanchore Basin has become one of India’s most significant onshore oil assets. Investments in the region have led to substantial socio-economic progress, with Barmer witnessing a more than sixfold increase in district GDP.
Rajasthan has evolved into a globally competitive hub for metals and a critical centre for oil and gas production. Hindustan Zinc now produces over one million tonnes of refined metal annually, with silver output increasing nearly twentyfold since 2002. The company exports to more than 40 countries, integrating Rajasthan into global supply chains. Meanwhile, Cairn’s operations continue to deliver consistent output, strengthening India’s domestic energy capabilities.
Vedanta’s presence has created a broad and inclusive economic ecosystem across multiple districts, generating employment for over one lakh people and supporting thousands of livelihoods through its extended value chain. The state hosts several of the company’s world-class assets, including large-scale mining, smelting, and oil production facilities.
Looking ahead, Vedanta is advancing plans for a Zinc Park, envisioned as a downstream manufacturing ecosystem that will support around 200 industries and boost MSME participation. Cairn Oil & Gas is also leveraging advanced technologies to enhance production and unlock additional reserves. Beyond industrial growth, Vedanta remains committed to social development through initiatives in education, healthcare, and community welfare, impacting millions across Rajasthan.
With supportive policies, improved infrastructure, and a strong ease-of-doing-business environment, Rajasthan continues to attract significant investments. Vedanta reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable operations, inclusive growth, and long-term partnership with the state as it enters its next phase of development.
Vedanta Limited is a global producer of metals, oil & gas, critical minerals, and energy solutions. With operations across multiple geographies, the company supports industrial growth, energy security, and technological advancement, while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and responsible business practices.
