Vedanta Boosts Renewable Energy Capacity to 1.03 GW

Vedanta Ltd, a leading metals and mining conglomerate, has increased its renewable energy capacity to 1.03 gigawatts (GW), marking a significant step toward its goal of 2.5 GW by 2030. The company announced the milestone on World Environment Day, underscoring its commitment to sustainable energy and a net-zero carbon future.

This jump comes from 1 GW of reliable renewable power, mostly from solar panels and wind turbines. Through their subsidiary, Serentica Renewables, Vedanta’s supplying clean energy to their sites in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. It’s a big win for India’s push to hit 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, helping the country go greener.

• Vedanta has scaled up its renewable energy capacity to 1.03 GW, targeting 2.5 GW by 2030
• Through Serentica Renewables, it's supplying clean power to operations in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha
• The company aims to power 30% of its aluminium business with renewables, aligning with India’s 500 GW green energy goal

“We are on track to achieve our decarbonization goals,” said Sunil Duggal, Vedanta’s Chief Safety Officer and Group CEO.  “Collaborating with industry leaders for hybrid renewable power ensures we meet our sustainability targets while supporting India’s green energy mission.”

India’s renewable energy game is on fire, with solar at 108 GW and wind at 51 GW in 2024. Vedanta’s also greening its aluminium business, aiming to use 30% renewable energy by 2030, which means less coal in the mix.
