Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd has officially commenced trading as an independent listed entity on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) from June 15, 2026, following the successful completion of Vedanta Group’s historic demerger, which became effective on May 1, 2026. The listing marks a major milestone in the company’s evolution, creating a focused, pure-play aluminum business with enhanced strategic flexibility and stronger long-term growth visibility.

Vedanta Aluminium enters this next phase as India’s largest aluminum producer and one of the world’s leading integrated aluminum companies. The company is also poised to emerge as the largest aluminum producer across the US, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Africa. With its vision to double the existing production capacity to 60 lakh tonnes per annum (LTPA), deep backward integration, and structural cost advantages, it is set to achieve among the lowest costs of production globally while upholding the highest standards of quality, serving demand across key global markets, and benefiting from long-term tailwinds in infra, automotive, electrification, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.

Commenting on the significance of the demerger, Rajesh Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “Becoming an independent listed entity marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Vedanta Aluminium, accelerating our vision of building the leading metals company dedicated to unlocking the full potential of aluminum, the metal of the future. Our focus is on creating a resilient, technology-driven, and cost-efficient business aligned with the needs of a rapidly transforming world. With aluminum at the core of the global energy transition and cutting-edge innovation, we are exceptionally well positioned to deliver long-term value while contributing to India’s emergence as a manufacturing powerhouse.”

Vedanta Aluminium is already positioned within the first quartile of the global aluminum cost curve and is progressing towards first-decile cost competitiveness through deeper backward integration, captive raw material sourcing, operational efficiencies, and scale advantages. The company operates one of the world’s largest alumina refineries at Lanjigarh and one of the world’s largest aluminum smelters at Jharsuguda in Odisha, and India’s iconic aluminum producer Bharat Aluminium Co Ltd (BALCO) at Korba in Chhattisgarh. Further, it has captive bauxite & coal resources & nearly 4.5 GW of captive power generation capacity, supported by an expanding downstream manufacturing ecosystem.

Vedanta Aluminium currently contributes ~50 percent of India’s aluminum production and has developed a diverse customer base across 60+ countries worldwide. The company offers one of the largest aluminum product portfolios in the global industry through Vedanta Metal Bazaar, the world’s largest online superstore for primary aluminum, and continues to expand its value-added offerings, including billets, wire rods, primary foundry alloys, rolled products, and aluminum-silicon products catering to electric vehicles, aerospace, defence, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Value-added products are expected to comprise nearly 90 percent of the portfolio over time.

Vedanta Aluminium continues to strengthen its ESG and sustainability positioning and has been consistently recognized among the top global aluminum companies in the annual S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) rankings over the past few years. The company is also expanding its product offerings under Restora, India’s first low-carbon aluminum range, amid rising global demand for sustainable aluminum solutions and decarbonized supply chains. Other key sustainability initiatives include increasing renewable energy integration across operations, digitalization & energy-efficiency programs, circular economy initiatives, water conservation, biodiversity management, and future recycling opportunities leveraging aluminum’s infinite recyclability.

Vedanta Aluminium is also developing India’s downstream aluminum ecosystem through the Vedanta Aluminium Park initiative in partnership with the Odisha Government. It will enable MSMEs and downstream manufacturers to establish facilities in close proximity to its plant and benefit from reliable access to direct ‘hot metal’ supply, thereby reducing logistics costs, remelting losses, and energy consumption, while driving value addition, fostering entrepreneurship, and generating significant regional employment opportunities.

The company also continues to invest in community development initiatives focused on education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, and sustainable livelihood across its operational regions.

The Board leadership overseeing Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd’s strategic direction include Anil Agarwal, Non-Executive Chairman; Akarsh K Hebbar, Non-Executive Vice-Chairman; Rajesh Kumar, Whole-Time Director & Chief Executive Officer; Dindayal Jalan, Independent Director; T K Chand, Independent Director; and Mona Sharma, Independent Director.

The demerger is aimed at attracting sector-focused investors, creating five independent businesses aligned with global benchmarks. Vedanta Aluminium as the ‘Metal of the Future’ business; Vedanta Oil & Gas as India’s leading private upstream player; Vedanta Iron & Steel as a future-ready steel business; Vedanta Power as one of India’s fastest-scaling energy companies; and Vedanta Ltd retaining strong positions in zinc, copper, nickel, and critical minerals. Vedanta Aluminium’s long-term positioning is anchored in its purpose of ‘Giving Form to the Future’.
