are moving mining 
beyond extraction
Critical minerals are moving mining 
beyond extraction
The clean-energy economy depends on a wider 
mineral portfolio
Minerals now connect mobility, infrastructure, advanced systems, and storage.

Critical minerals are moving mining 
beyond extraction
Demand is pushing leading 
miners to secure supply 
earlier
Electric vehicles, renewable energy, battery storage, 
semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing are 
widening the strategic importance of lithium, cobalt, 
nickel, copper, and rare earth elements.
Countries increasingly view these minerals as 
important national assets
The source points to a significant increase in 
demand as economies shift toward cleaner 
energy systems

Vedanta has placed critical 
minerals at the center of its 
long-term strategy
04
Critical minerals are moving mining

Its expansion model combines legacy scale with 
future-facing resources
Three platforms show how scale and future-facing resources move together.
01 02 03
Aluminium Copper Iron & steel
60 lakh 1 million 15 million
tonnes per year tonnes tonnes annually
Double capacity Target production From 4 million; emphasis on 
green and specialty steel
05
Critical minerals are moving mining 
beyond extraction
Energy becomes another platform for diversification
OIL & GAS INVESTMENT POWER
5 lakh $5 20,00
barrels per day billion 0 MW
Target production
over the next three to five and explore entry into 
years nuclear power
Toward that goal Expanded platform
06
Critical minerals are moving mining 
beyond extraction
India’s manufacturing 
ambitions require reliable 
mineral access
Make in India, electric mobility, renewable 
energy, and advanced electronics all depend on 
resilient mineral supply chains
Domestic exploration can help reduce import 
dependence and support national manufacturing 
priorities
Vedanta’s portfolio spans lithium, cobalt, nickel, 
copper, and rare earth exploration
07
Critical minerals are moving mining 
beyond extraction
The next mining leaders will compete on systems, not 
tonnage alone
RESOURCE SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
Build a broader exploration Embed advanced capabilities 
portfolio across operations
RESPONSIBLE GROWTH STRATEGIC POSITION
Connect exploration, sustainable Participate in today’s industrial 
operations, and long-term economy and tomorrow’s clean-
industrial development energy transition
