Vedanta's Mixed Production Report: Gains in Aluminium, Zinc, Iron Ore Amid Declines Elsewhere

Vedanta Ltd reported increased production in aluminium, zinc, and iron ore for the September quarter. However, steel, mined metal overseas, and oil and gas outputs saw declines. The company's production was affected by planned shutdowns for maintenance and improvements. Despite challenges, Vedanta continues its operations across multiple countries.

Mining giant Vedanta Ltd displayed a varied performance in the September quarter, recording increases in aluminium, zinc, and iron ore production. Specifically, aluminium production climbed 3% to 609,000 tonnes compared to the previous year.

Meanwhile, Zinc India's output also rose to 262,000 tonnes. However, the story was different for Zinc International, where production fell 34% to 44,000 tonnes.

The company reported a 22% drop in oil and gas output and a similar decline in steel production due to planned shutdowns. Vedanta Ltd remains a key player in the natural resources sector with operations spanning multiple countries.
