Vedanta Utilizes 2.60+ Bn Units of Renewable Energy in FY25

20 Aug 2025 CW Team

In Q1 FY26 alone, Vedanta consumed around 850 million units of renewable power, underscoring its accelerated green energy transition. The company has already secured power delivery agreements for 1.9 GW of renewable capacity, expected to become operational in the coming years, enabling major emission reductions across its businesses.

Subsidiaries such as Hindustan Zinc and BALCO have begun receiving renewable energy for operations, while other units will follow. Hindustan Zinc is also one of India’s largest wind power producers with 273.5 MW capacity spread across five states.

In addition, Vedanta continues to diversify its renewable portfolio through biomass energy, consuming 6.5 lakh gigajoules (GJ) in FY25—equivalent to the annual electricity requirement of 50,000 Indian homes. Its power arm, Talwandi Sabo Power (TSPL), has also enabled Punjab’s largest torrefied bio-pellet facility near its 1,980 MW Mansa-based plant.

Vedanta’s decarbonisation strategy is built on four levers:

Scaling up renewable energy
Transitioning to low-carbon fuels
Driving energy and process efficiency
Leveraging carbon offsets

Through these initiatives, Vedanta has introduced Restora & Restora Ultra, India’s first low-carbon ‘green’ aluminium, and EcoZen, Asia’s first low-carbon ‘green’ zinc. These products align with the needs of environmentally conscious customers seeking sustainable supply chains.

Over the past three years, the company has mitigated 28 million tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of over 1 billion trees. Vedanta has earned a (B) rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for its water security and climate change actions. Its aluminium and zinc product lines are also Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)-verified, offering transparency on their environmental footprint.

On Akshay Urja Diwas, Vedanta, India’s leading critical minerals, transition metals, energy, and technology conglomerate, announced that it has consumed over 2.6 billion units of renewable energy in FY25, enough to power nearly 20 lakh Indian households for a year. This reflects a significant rise from 1.6 billion units in FY24, registering a 1.6x increase in clean energy utilization.In Q1 FY26 alone, Vedanta consumed around 850 million units of renewable power, underscoring its accelerated green energy transition.
