Renewable energy usage increased by 50% year-on-year to approximately 4 billion units, avoiding 3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions; the deployment of 365,000 tonnes of biomass fuel further reduced emissions by 500,000 to 600,000 tonnes.

To support decarbonization efforts, Vedanta has planted nearly 4 million trees since FY2021, with a target of 7 million trees by 2030, and has maintained net water positivity across three of its operations. Its low-carbon strategy encompasses four areas: operational efficiency, clean fuels, renewable energy adoption, and carbon offsetting through afforestation and ecosystem restoration.

In FY2026, Vedanta's business segments achieved progress: Hindustan Zinc became India's first member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and received the highest ranking in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook; Vedanta Aluminium expanded production of its low-carbon product Restora at the BALCO plant; Vedanta Oil & Gas obtained the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Pathway; and Vedanta Iron & Steel launched the Maem Bandhara watershed management project to support irrigation and sustainable livelihoods.

As a producer of aluminum, zinc, silver, copper, iron ore, and steel, Vedanta continues to implement strategies for sustainable development, resource efficiency, and climate-resilient operations while driving industrial growth.
