Vedanta Pumps ₹12,500 Crore into Metals for India's EV Future

Vedanta has invested over ₹12,500 crore to expand its metal manufacturing capabilities, aligning with the rapid growth of India’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem.

The capital expenditure focuses on critical minerals essential for EV production—aluminium, zinc, copper, nickel, steel, and ferrochrome. Key projects underway include aluminium smelter expansions, value-added aluminium products, zinc alloy production, a zinc roaster, and increased ferrochrome capacity.

Positioning itself as a leading domestic supplier of energy transition metals, Vedanta offers a comprehensive portfolio for EV applications—from primary foundry alloys for wheels and engine blocks to billets for battery casings, HVAC systems, and lightweight structural components.

In a major sustainability initiative, Vedanta has also launched India’s first low-carbon aluminium, branded “Restora” and “Restora Ultra”, enabling automakers to reduce emissions and enhance lightweight mobility.

This strategic push reinforces Vedanta’s role in supporting India’s EV ambitions and accelerating the nation’s clean energy transition.
