In July 2026, Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal unveiled a 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, the chairman 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.

Agarwal 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.
