Vedanta contributes Rs 627.22 billion to exchequer

Vedanta Limited contributed Rs 627.22 billion to the exchequer in FY26, according to its 11th Tax Transparency Report. The contribution accounted for 36 per cent of the company’s consolidated revenue from operations and reflected its focus on transparent governance, fiscal discipline and nation-building.

The FY26 contribution marked a 13.3 per cent increase over the previous year. Vedanta’s cumulative contribution to the exchequer over the past decade reached Rs 4.83 trillion. The company said the Group ranks among India’s top three private-sector contributors to the national exchequer.

The contribution came alongside Vedanta’s strongest financial performance. Revenue rose 15 per cent to Rs 1.74 trillion, while EBITDA increased 29 per cent to Rs 559.76 billion. Profit After Tax grew 22 per cent to Rs 250.96 billion. Net Debt to EBITDA improved to 0.95x from 1.22x, marking its best level in 14 quarters.

The performance was supported by operations across zinc-lead-silver, aluminium, copper, iron ore, steel, power, nickel, chrome, and oil and gas. Zinc was the largest contributor at Rs 190.53 billion, followed by Vedanta Aluminium at Rs 157.88 billion and Vedanta Oil & Gas at Rs 116.97 billion.

The report stated that government royalties and profit petroleum stood at Rs 148.40 billion, while taxes on income and capital totalled Rs 82.90 billion. Other taxes borne amounted to Rs 118.97 billion, including duties on export and import, oil cess, electricity duty and ineligible GST.

Indirect taxes contributed Rs 217.77 billion, while withholding taxes stood at Rs 31.88 billion. Corporate dividends to the Government of India totalled Rs 11.80 billion through its 27.92 per cent stake in Hindustan Zinc Limited.

Vedanta said tax transparency remains part of its broader ESG framework. The company has maintained voluntary tax disclosures for eleven consecutive years and aligns its tax principles with the B-Team Responsible Tax Principles and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
