Vedanta has reported 40% surge in refined zinc production in the fourth quarter, boosted by higher output at a mine in Rajasthan. Refined zinc production rose to 215,000 tonnes in the quarter ended March 31, from 154,000 tonnes a year earlier. Full-year integrated zinc production at its Indian unit fell 12 percent to 670,000 tonnes due to lower availability of mined metal in the first half of the year.
Vedanta is an India-based global diversified natural resources company with operations across zinc, lead, silver, oil and gas, iron ore, copper, aluminum and commercial power. The company operates through segments, including Copper, Aluminium, Iron Ore, Power and Others.
