New Delhi, May 6: Vedanta Ltd, one of India’s leading natural resources conglomerates, reported a 154% year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 3,483 crore for the fourth quarter of FY25, driven by record operational performance and robust cost efficiency across its key verticals. Revenue from operations rose by 14% YoY to Rs 40,455 crore during the same period.
The company’s consolidated EBITDA grew 30% YoY to Rs 11,618 crore, with a sequential rise of 3%. EBITDA margin improved to 35%—the highest in the past 12 quarters—reflecting Vedanta’s continued emphasis on operational excellence, cost optimisation, and favourable market conditions.
Vedanta’s aluminium segment sustained its upward momentum, with quarterly production touching 604 kilotonnes (kt), up 1% YoY. Value-added product (VAP) sales reached an all-time high of 338 kt, rising 16% YoY, while domestic sales grew 17%. The segment also achieved its lowest hot metal cost (excluding alumina) in four years at $920 per tonne, despite inflationary pressures on input costs.
In the zinc business, the company recorded its highest-ever quarterly mined and refined output at 310 kt and 270 kt, respectively. The cost of production fell to a 16-quarter low of $994 per tonne, driven by improved ore grades and operational efficiencies. Silver production also increased sequentially to 177 tonnes during the quarter.
Zinc International posted a 52% YoY jump in mined metal production to 50 kt. Enhanced grades and volumes at the Gamsberg mine helped reduce the cost of production by 25% YoY to $1,263 per tonne. Output from this region is expected to climb further with the Phase II expansion underway.
In its oil and gas business, Vedanta maintained steady operational activity with production at 96.2 kboepd. Notably, the company reported its first-ever oil discovery in the North-East at the Rudra-1 block, marking a strategic milestone. While the segment saw some pressure due to the natural decline of mature fields and market pricing, it remained focused on value creation and long-term growth.
Arun Misra, Executive Director, Vedanta Ltd, stated, “This quarter concludes a year of exceptional achievement in FY25, where we not only delivered the highest-ever annual volumes for aluminium and zinc but also significantly reduced production costs. Our outlook for FY26 is firmly focused on growth and efficiency.”
Vedanta closed the fiscal year with a healthy liquidity buffer of Rs 20,602 crore in cash and cash equivalents, reinforcing its financial strength heading into FY26.
