Aluminium & Alumina

The Lanjigarh refinery delivered its highest-ever quarterly and half-yearly alumina production, reaching 653 kt, a significant 31% year-on-year (YoY) increase. This growth was bolstered by strong operational efficiencies and capacity utilization. Aluminium production also hit a new high at 617 kt, registering a modest 1% YoY rise, driven by process optimisations and improved productivity.

Zinc India

Zinc India reported its highest-ever Q2 mined metal production at 258 kt, marking a 1% YoY growth, with half-year output at 523 kt. Refined zinc volumes grew by 2% YoY to 202 kt, while refined lead output declined 29% YoY due to lower availability at the pyro plant. Saleable silver production stood at 144 tonnes, down 22% YoY, reflecting the decline in lead volumes.

Zinc International

Zinc International delivered a robust performance with mined metal production at 60 kt, a 38% YoY increase. The surge was primarily led by enhanced throughput and improved lead grades at Gamsberg, where output rose 54% YoY.

Iron Ore & Pig Iron

The iron ore business saw a decline, with saleable ore output at 1.1 million tonnes, down 19% YoY. In contrast, pig iron production achieved a record 238 kt, up 26% YoY, benefiting from the successful debottlenecking of the blast furnace.

Oil & Gas

In the oil and gas segment, average daily gross operated production was 89.3 kboepd, a 15% YoY decline, mainly due to reduced output from the Rajasthan and Ravva blocks.

Steel

Finished steel production stood at 274 kt, down 8% YoY, as scheduled maintenance impacted furnace operations. However, billet production saw a strong 43% YoY increase to 232 kt, and TMT bar output rose 18% YoY to 100 kt, reflecting better downstream integration.

FACOR & Copper

At FACOR, ore production rose 24% YoY to 47 kt, though ferro-chrome output dropped 28% YoY due to a planned furnace shutdown. Copper cathode production was 40 kt, down 3% YoY, impacted by temporary raw material constraints.
