Vedanta is the first Indian aluminium producer to manufacture products for addressing the fast-growing global demand for low carbon aluminium, driven by greater climate consciousness. Manufactured using renewable energy, Restora’s GHG emission intensity is well below four tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of aluminium manufactured — the global threshold for aluminium to be considered as low carbon aluminium, as per assessment by an independent, global verification assurance firm. Restora Ultra, manufactured with aluminium recovered from dross (a by-product of the aluminium smelting process), has a near-zero carbon footprint that is amongst the lowest in the world. For this, Vedanta has partnered with Runaya Refining, a fast-growing manufacturing start-up focussed on creating innovative solutions for the resources sector. Vedanta Aluminium can customize Restora into ingots, billets and other value-added products, as per customer requirements.

Vedanta Aluminium Business, a division of Vedanta Limited, is India’s largest manufacturer of aluminium, producing 1.97 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in FY21. The company ranked 4th among aluminium producers globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) in 2021. The company is on a mission to spur emerging applications of aluminium as the ‘Metal of the Future’ for a greener tomorrow.
