Industry leaders are actively exploring ways to reduce consumption and contribute positively to the ecosystems they operate in. In this context, Vedanta Aluminium — India’s largest aluminium producer — is emerging as a pioneer in sustainable water stewardship.

Vedanta Aluminium has rolled out some of India’s most impactful water stewardship programs, making water management a central part of its sustainability journey. This commitment is most evident in its recycling of over 16 billion litres of water across its operations in FY25 alone. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly the volume of 6,400 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Achieving this scale of water reuse is no small feat, and it reflects a highly disciplined approach to resource management, where every drop is accounted for. With a recycling rate of 15%, Vedanta is setting new benchmarks in water efficiency, leveraging innovative technologies and processes to ensure long-term resilience.
