New Delhi: India’s leading natural resources and energy conglomerate, Vedanta Ltd., has unveiled a bold roadmap for future growth, anchored in its newly announced 3D Strategy — Demerger, Diversification, and Deleveraging. Speaking at the company’s 60th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Chairman Anil Agarwal outlined how this strategy will double Vedanta’s size and unlock substantial value for stakeholders.
Demerger: Independent Powerhouses in the Making
Vedanta plans to demerge its diverse businesses into separate entities, allowing each to grow independently with sharper strategic focus. According to Agarwal, each demerged entity has the potential to become a $100 billion (₹8.35 lakh crore) BUSINESS in the long term.
The demerger will offer each sector its own identity, investor base, and operational autonomy. The proposal has already secured 99.5% approval from shareholders and creditors and is now in its final phase.
Diversification: Expanding Into the Future
Moving beyond mining and metals, Vedanta is aggressively diversifying into critical minerals, rare earth metals, energy transition materials, power, and technology. This not only strengthens revenue sources but also aligns the company with India’s goal of energy independence and economic self-reliance.
The company is also establishing India’s first industrial Zinc Park and the largest Aluminium Park, initiatives expected to empower thousands of MSMEs and generate millions of jobs, catalyzing what the chairman called a “metal revolution” in India.
Deleveraging: Strengthening the Financial Core
A key pillar of the 3D strategy is deleveraging, aimed at reducing debt and reinforcing the company’s financial structure. This will enable Vedanta to pursue future investments with greater stability and confidence.
Aligned with India’s Aspirations
Agarwal stressed that this transformation is not just about business expansion, but about realizing India’s larger economic dreams. He noted that India’s geology is as rich as Canada and Australia’s, yet only 25% of its mineral potential has been explored. Vedanta currently holds 10 key mineral blocks, the largest by any private sector company in the country.
Driving Innovation and Social Change
Vedanta is also stepping into the deep-tech space with a plan to support 1,000 tech startups through one of India’s largest industrial incubator platforms.
On the social front, the company’s flagship CSR program Nand Ghar has expanded to 8,500+ centers across 15 states, focusing on child development and women’s empowerment. Vedanta is also committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
Vision for Education: Vedanta University
In a significant announcement, Anil Agarwal shared his vision for Vedanta University, a world-class educational institution inspired by Harvard. The university aims to foster innovation, leadership, and research excellence in India.
Strong Financial Performance
In FY 2024–25, Vedanta reported:
- Revenue: ₹1,50,725 crore
- EBITDA: ₹43,541 crore
- Shareholder Return: 87% — among the top value creators in the Nifty 100
Key expansion highlights include:
- Hindustan Zinc’s ₹12,000 crore investment in a new 2.5 lakh-tonne smelting complex
- Cairn Oil & Gas securing 7 new OALP blocks
- Aluminium production capacity being ramped up to 31 lakh tonnes, with a new 30 lakh tonne greenfield smelter also planned
Inclusive Growth
Vedanta employs over 1 lakh people, with 22% women currently in the workforce and a target of 30% female representation by 2030.
Chairman Agarwal concluded,
“This is not just about growing a company — it’s about building a developed, self-reliant India.”
