Vedanta Management Take on Q1FY26 Performance

Commenting on 1QFY26 results, Mr. Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta said, “Our 1Q performance has set a strong foundation for the year ahead. Amidst global market volatility, we delivered the highest-ever first quarter EBITDA. Operationally, we achieved the lowest hot metal cost (ex-Alumina) in the last 16 quarters, lowest-ever 1Q Zinc India CoP, 74% YoY increase in Gamsberg's production, 33% QoQ surge in power sales, and 150% QoQ jump in Ferro Chrome volumes.

The ramp-up of the Lanjigarh refinery to 587kt demonstrates our progress towards delivering over 3 MnT of Alumina in FY26. Looking ahead, the commissioning of Train II at Lanjigarh, 435kt smelter capacity at Balco and 1300 MW of new thermal power capacity, all in 2Q, will enable us to deliver our full-year guidance. The start of operations at our Sijimali bauxite mine and Kuraloi coal mine in H2 is likely to boost our performance to a record high”.
