Vedanta reported its highest-ever first-quarter EBITDA of ₹10,746 crore, up 5% year-on-year, with EBITDA margin (ex-Copper) expanding 81 basis points to 35% — the highest in 13 quarters. Consolidated revenue rose 6% YoY to ₹37,434 crore, supported by lower costs and higher premiums, though partly offset by softer commodity prices. Adjusted PAT grew 13% YoY to ₹5,000 crore (reported PAT ₹4,457 crore, which includes a ₹543 crore one-off Cairn OALP exploration cost write-off). The company maintained a strong balance sheet with Net Debt/EBITDA improving to 1.3x (from 1.5x), cash and equivalents of ₹22,137 crore, and credit rating reaffirmed at AA by both CRISIL and ICRA. The board declared an interim dividend of ₹7 per share. Operationally, record alumina production of 587 kt (+9% YoY), highest-ever Q1 mined metal at HZL, and Zinc International production up 50% YoY reflected strong execution.
Positive for shareholders — record Q1 profitability, margin expansion, improving leverage, and reaffirmed AA credit rating signal strong financial health. The interim dividend of ₹7/share offers near-term returns, while ongoing deleveraging and stake-sale proceeds (₹3,028 crore from HZL) reinforce balance sheet strength.
