Vedanta Q1 FY27 earnings

The metals and mining major reported a 71.8% rise in consolidated net profit at ₹5,473 crore in the quarter ended June 2026 (Q1 FY27), citing higher sales amid rising global metal prices and a lower exchange rate of the rupee.

In the year-ago period, the Anil Agarwal-led company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹3,185 crore.

Revenue from operations during the first quarter of FY27 rose by 53.6% to ₹24,205 crore from ₹15,754 crore a year ago.

Expenses during the reporting quarter rose to ₹17,558 crore from ₹13,203 crore recorded in the year-ago period, the company said in a regulatory filing.

Recent updates

In August 2026, Vedanta Ltd said the company has deployed portable rigs at two of its exploration projects in Chhattisgarh.

In a statement, the company said it has "commissioned India's first portable rig for gold and critical mineral exploration."

The rigs have been deployed at two of Vedanta's flagship exploration projects in Chhattisgarh dedicated to gold and exploration of critical minerals such as nickel, chromium, and platinum group elements, it said.

The rigs -- a critical heavy duty mechanical system -- can carry out high-speed drilling up to 1,000 metres compared to the typical 300-400 metre range, without losing precious time in inter-location movement.

Critical mineral exploration demands exceptional technical expertise and deep-shaft mining capabilities, Vedanta said.

As the energy transition accelerates, Vedanta said it is positioned to bridge the critical mineral deficit by leveraging its integrated smelting infrastructure and advanced geological tech to unlock complex blocks.

Vedanta to treble zinc, double silver, invest $5billion in Oil & Gas

Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal in July 2026 unveiled an ambitious growth roadmap, saying the company will nearly treble zinc and lead production, double silver output, and accelerate exploration of critical and strategic minerals including lithium and rare earths, while committing $5 billion in investments to expand its oil and gas business.

Agarwal unveiled an ambitious vision for 'Vedanta Unlimited' at Vedanta Ltd's 61st Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Speaking at the AGM, he said the company plans to nearly treble zinc and lead output to 3 million tonnes by 2031, double silver production to 1,500 tonnes, and raise copper production to 1 million tonnes by the end of the decade.

He said ferrochrome capacity would be ramped up to 5 lakh tonnes by FY28 and nickel output increased to 60,000 tonnes. He added the firm would accelerate exploration across its ten critical and strategic mineral blocks, covering lithium, cobalt, gold, copper, nickel, manganese, rare earths and potash.

Vedanta Group reiterated bullish expansion plans across its demerged businesses, saying it would sharply scale up capacities over the next three to five years.

Vedanta Aluminium would double its capacity to 60 lakh tonnes per year within three years and aims to operate at the lowest cost globally.
