Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited (VAML) has announced its production figures for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, reporting its highest-ever quarterly aluminium and value-added production.
Aluminium production reached 632 thousand tonnes, marking a 5% increase year-on-year and a 3% increase quarter-on-quarter. This growth is attributed to volumes from the new smelter and enhanced operational efficiency in existing lines. BALCO's contribution was 168 thousand tonnes, up 17% year-on-year, with its expansion project progressing steadily and on track for full capacity utilization by Q4 FY27.
Alumina production stood at 826 thousand tonnes, a significant 41% increase year-on-year, though it saw a 6% decrease quarter-on-quarter due to unplanned shutdowns. Value-added production achieved a record 389 thousand tonnes, up 14% year-on-year and 4% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting a continued focus on product mix enhancement and market alignment.
In terms of regulatory and operational milestones, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has granted Environment Clearance and Stage II Forest Clearance for the Sijimali Bauxite Block. Additionally, the Mining Lease for the Kuraloi (A) North Coal Block has been executed, with Mine Opening Permission obtained in June 2026.
The company noted that while Vedanta's demerger became effective from May 1, 2026, the reported figures cover the entire quarter from April to June 2026. Power sales from BALCO were 520 Million Units, up 21% year-on-year.
