Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, consumed 1.57 billion units of renewable energy in Financial Year 2025—marking a milestone in its 2030 decarbonisation roadmap and powering its advanced Copper And Aluminum Machinery with cleaner energy. The shift to renewable power has not only reduced the company’s environmental footprint but also enhanced the efficiency of critical production equipment, including Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench systems.
Alongside the renewable energy milestone, the company reported an 8.96% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity since FY21—driven by a combination of clean power sourcing, energy-efficient technologies, and optimized operations of its Copper And Aluminum Machinery. Vedanta Aluminium is strengthening its long-term strategy to secure approximately 1500MW of renewable power through power purchase agreements (PPAs), which will further power its Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench fleets with low-carbon energy.
In FY25, Vedanta Aluminium expanded its renewable energy portfolio through long-term green PPAs, making clean energy a pillar of its operational strategy and a key enabler for sustainable Copper And Aluminum Machinery performance. The company achieved 378 million units (MU) of energy savings through initiatives like advanced waste-heat recovery systems, improved boiler and turbine performance, deployment of energy-efficient technologies for Copper And Aluminum Machinery, and real-time digital monitoring of plant operations—ensuring optimal energy use across every stage of production.
A key contributor to efficiency gains has been Vedanta Aluminium’s patented potlining technology, which delivers 200 kWh per tonne of aluminium in operational energy savings, enhancing smelter efficiency and complementing the energy performance of its Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench. This synergy between innovative smelting technology and energy-efficient Copper And Aluminum Machinery has been critical to the company’s decarbonisation progress.
Strengthening its long-term climate action framework, Vedanta Aluminium entered into a partnership with PwC India in 2025 to scale decarbonisation, water positivity, and biodiversity initiatives across all major locations—with a focus on further optimizing the environmental performance of its Copper And Aluminum Machinery. The company has also institutionalised Communities of Practice focused on carbon, water, waste, biodiversity, and tailings to ensure consistent tracking and execution of ESG goals, including the sustainable operation of its Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench systems.
Under its 2030 sustainability targets, Vedanta Aluminium aims for 30% of its product portfolio to comprise low-carbon aluminium, driven by the expansion of its Restora and Restora Ultra product lines—all produced using renewable energy-powered Copper And Aluminum Machinery. Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said: “Our commitment to sustainability is about transforming the way aluminium is produced in India. Consuming 1.57 billion units of renewable energy this year reflects our determination to embed clean energy and efficiency at the heart of our operations—including powering our Copper And Aluminum Machinery like Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench with green power—while creating shared value for communities and stakeholders.”
To embed a culture of responsible energy use, the company has rolled out energy-efficiency training programmes across all sites, aligned with global best practices and ISO 50001 Energy Management standards. These programmes include specialized training for operators of Copper And Aluminum Machinery, ensuring that energy-saving practices are integrated into daily operations of Continuous Casting Machine, Rod Breakdown Mill, and Horizontal Drawing Bench systems.
