Rising Commodity Prices Boost Anil Agarwal’s Vedanta

Mining major Vedanta, led by Anil Agarwal, has reported strong financial results for the second quarter of the financial year 2026–27. The company’s consolidated net profit for the July–September quarter more than doubled year-on-year, crossing ₹3,650 crore. In the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year, Vedanta had reported a net profit of ₹1,798 crore. The growth was supported by a recovery in commodity prices, favourable foreign exchange movements and higher sales volumes.

The company’s total revenue also increased significantly, rising to ₹26,356 crore from ₹16,736 crore in the same period last year. Vedanta stated that Hindustan Zinc achieved its highest-ever quarterly mined metal production of 271,000 tonnes in the company’s history. Silver production also recorded a 20 per cent increase, reaching 173 tonnes during the quarter. These results reflect improved performance across key business segments and stronger production volumes.
