Vedanta Q1 Profit Soars 72% on Metal Prices, Weak Rupee
Vedanta is a big mining company in India.
In the first quarter of its 2027 financial year, it made a lot more money than last year – about 72% more.
This happened because metal prices went up and the Indian rupee got weaker, which made its exports cheaper.
The company also sold more products and kept costs down.
It also cut its debt and is splitting off its real‑estate business into a new company.
The board is keeping the same chief executive, Arun Misra, for another year while they wait for shareholders to agree.
Vedanta’s Q1 FY27 net profit rose 71.8% to ₹5,473 crore, up from ₹3,185 crore a year earlier.
Revenue climbed 53.6% to ₹24,205 crore, while expenses increased to ₹17,558 crore.
EBITDA nearly doubled to ₹8,469 crore and net debt fell to ₹8,299 crore, a reduction of ₹2,223 crore.
The company attributes gains to higher metal prices, a weaker rupee, volume growth, and cost efficiency.
The board approved the demerger of the real‑estate arm and reappointed Arun Misra as CEO pending shareholder approval.
