Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has reaffirmed its sustainability leadership with the release of three key ESG disclosures for FY25 — the Sustainable Development Report, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Report, and Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report. These reports underscore the company’s strong progress in responsible operations, aligned with India’s Net Zero 2070 vision and its commitment to building a green industrial future.Guided by its ESG vision of Transforming for Good, Vedanta Aluminium continues to integrate sustainability across all operations — from decarbonizing smelters and refineries to empowering communities and restoring ecosystems.In a landmark step, Vedanta Aluminium released its inaugural TNFD Report, adopting the global LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) framework to identify and manage nature-related risks and opportunities. The company has pledged to achieve No Net Loss by 2050, with site-specific Biodiversity Management Plans already in place.The TCFD Report outlines Vedanta Aluminium’s comprehensive climate risk management strategy, including scenario analysis, transition risk assessments, and climate resilience planning, in line with global sustainability frameworks.In FY25, the company produced 2.42 million tonnes of aluminium, representing over 50 per cent of India’s output, while maintaining zero environmental non-compliance. It also earned the ASI Chain of Custody (CoC) certification and ranked 2nd globally in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2024 for the aluminium industry.Vedanta Aluminium achieved an 8.96 per cent reduction in GHG intensity, bringing emissions down to 17.01 tCO₂e per tonne of aluminium — the lowest since FY21. To sustain this trajectory, the company plans to source 1,500 MW of renewable power by 2030 through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), supporting India’s clean energy goals and the growing demand for low-carbon aluminium.“Our sustainability strategy is deeply rooted in our ESG vision, which serves as a roadmap for responsible growth,” said Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium. “At Vedanta Aluminium, sustainability is not just about compliance — it’s our growth strategy. Our progress shows how even hard-to-abate sectors like aluminium can embrace innovation, renewable energy, and circularity to drive meaningful change. We are proud to lead India’s journey toward Net Zero, proving that industrial growth and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.”As part of its clean energy transition, Vedanta Aluminium has partnered with GAIL Gas Limited to supply natural gas to its Jharsuguda smelter. The transition, expected to be completed by end-2025, will cut over 47,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. GAIL is constructing a 7.5 km pipeline to supply 32,000 SCM/day of gas under a five-year agreement, supporting Vedanta’s upcoming 430 KTPA cast house and further advancing its decarbonization roadmap.
