Net profit for the June 2026 quarter stood at ₹7,918 crore, reflecting a 15.22% decline from ₹9,352 crore in the preceding March 2026 quarter. Earnings Per Share (EPS) also saw an 18.25% reduction, falling to ₹14.02 in June 2026 from ₹17.15 in March 2026. The strong Q1 FY2026 performance was primarily driven by rising commodity prices, with both Vedanta and Vedanta Aluminium Metal reporting robust outcomes. Vedanta Aluminium reported a 216% year-on-year jump in net profit, outpacing the 75% growth reported by Hindalco and 91% by National Aluminium Company (Nalco). The strong performance was driven by elevated aluminium prices, with average LME aluminium price increasing 46% year-on-year to $3,565 per tonne during the quarter.
On an annual consolidated basis, Vedanta's revenue for FY2026 was ₹78,437 crore, representing a significant 48.60% decrease compared to ₹152,968 crore reported in FY2025. Despite the revenue decline, Net Profit for March 2026 stood at ₹12,481 crore, while EPS increased by 14.40% from ₹38.97 in March 2025 to ₹44.58 in March 2026, indicating improved profitability per share. The company has a history of generous dividend payments, including an interim dividend of ₹11.00 per share (1100%) with an effective date of March 27, 2026. Prior to this, an interim dividend of ₹16.00 per share (1600%) was announced on August 18, 2025, with an effective date of August 26, 2025.

Both companies are stepping up investments to drive future growth, with combined capital expenditure of nearly ₹12,000 crore planned for FY27. Vedanta Aluminium plans to spend around ₹5,000 crore on capex in FY27, including ₹2,000-2,500 crore at its subsidiary Bharat Aluminium Company. Vedanta plans ₹7,000 crore of growth capex in FY27 with ₹5,000 crore earmarked for Zinc India and ₹2,000 crore for its other businesses. According to ICICI Securities, Vedanta Aluminium Metal is in a sweet spot as it is one of the few companies in India that has near-term growth levers along with better backward integration into bauxite-alumina-coal. The company is focused on expanding aluminium volume, paring costs via backward integration, and increasing its share of value-added products.
The Vedanta demerger came into effect on May 1, 2026, with the stock trading ex-demerger from April 30. The metals and mining giant has split into five businesses with effect from May 1, 2026, including Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Oil & Gas, and Vedanta Iron & Steel. Vedanta and Vedanta Aluminium Metal together accounted for more than 95% of the Vedanta Group's net profit in the June quarter. According to market experts, the aluminium and zinc segments are expected to show resilience owing to demand and efficiency factors, while performance in other segments will depend on production trends and international commodity prices. The company maintains its position as a constituent of the Nifty Next 50 index.
