Vedanta Group expects to unlock USD 300–400 million in additional value over the next three years through large-scale deployment of AI-led industrial technologies across its businesses. The group said its V-Spark DeepTech Ventures platform has already delivered nearly four times return on investment since inception.

Vedanta is scaling AI, predictive analytics, Industrial Internet of Things, digital twins, machine learning, automation and connected manufacturing technologies across its metals, mining, energy and industrial operations. These deployments are aimed at improving productivity, lowering production costs, strengthening safety and supporting ESG performance.

The company has implemented predictive maintenance systems, AI-enabled thermal monitoring, froth analytics, intelligent energy management platforms and automated process optimisation systems. It has also deployed more than 500 AI-enabled safety cameras across operations to support real-time workplace monitoring.

In mining, AI-driven fleet optimisation has improved haulage efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while tele-remote mining technologies are helping reduce man-machine contact in underground operations.

Vedanta said automated monitoring systems in smelter operations have generated nearly USD 4.2 million in value creation, while Mine Excellence initiatives are expected to contribute nearly USD 10 million in annual EBITDA impact. Through V-Spark, the group also plans to engage with over 1,000 startups focused on AI, industrial digitalisation, sustainability and next-generation manufacturing technologies.
