Shri Maitra also led a walkathon in the township which highlighted the use of energy judiciously in everyday life, ensuring zero wastage and spreading awareness about the importance of energy conservation for a healthy environment and sustainable future. Energy conservation is an important factor in lessening climate change. It helps the replacement of non-renewable resources with renewable energy. Energy conservation is frequently the most cost-effective solution to energy shortages, as well as a more ecologically friendly option than increasing energy output. Various activities like painting, essay competition, slogan are being organized for employees, family members and children of the township.

In India, National Energy Conservation Day is observed every year on 14th December to raise awareness about the significance of energy and the need of conserving energy by using less energy.

The Group’s decarbonisation strategy uses four levers: renewable energy expansion, switching to low-carbon fuels, energy and process efficiency, and carbon offsets. Leveraging a multi-pronged approach, till November FY26, Vedanta sourced 2.58 billion units of renewable energy, mitigating nearly 2 million (or 20 lakh) tonnes of CO₂e emissions, equivalent to removing 4.1 lakh cars from India’s roads for a full year.

Since FY21, Vedanta has mitigated over 28 million (or 2.8 crore) tons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to annual carbon absorption of over 1 billion mature trees. In FY25, Vedanta further strengthened its commitment to large-scale decarbonisation and energy efficiency, investing approximately USD 170 million (approximately INR 1500 Crores) towards its Net Zero efforts.

Concurrently in FY26, Vedanta has actively undertaken over 30 energy-saving and decarbonisation projects, improving waste-heat recovery of steam, periodic overhauling, and optimising energy consumption through state-of-the-art pot controllers. These controllers will significantly streamline energy use precisely to boost industrial performance, stability and energy efficiency. The projects are expected to save over 150,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to carbon absorption from 7 million (or 70 lakh) trees.

Reaffirming the Government of India’s ‘Waste to Wealth’ mission and circularity focus, Vedanta uses high-quality biofuel made from biomass and agricultural residue with far greater energy density than original feedstock. In 2025, Vedanta has used 182 Kt of biomass across its operations mitigating over 300,000 tons of CO₂, equivalent to annual absorption of 15 million (or 1.5 crore) mature trees.

From solar to wind energy, Vedanta is powering India’s clean energy mission by producing transition metals and critical minerals that clean energy depends on. Since 2021, Vedanta has advanced low-carbon production, reducing carbon intensity (tCO₂e/INR Million in Revenue) by nearly 30%.

As Vedanta celebrates its ‘Energy Conservation Week’ across its operations, it has saved over 33,000 Mega-watt hours (MwH) of energy across its Zinc and Ferrochrome operations. Vedanta Aluminium is also expanding its capacity from 2.4 to 3.1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), with its Restora low carbon ‘green’ aluminium widely used in solar, EVs, packaging and modern infrastructure. Hindustan Zinc is advancing its 2x Growth Plan across zinc, lead and silver, with its low carbon ‘green’ zinc, EcoZen offering a 75% less carbon intensive solution for applications in infrastructure.

Commemorating the ‘National Energy Conservation Week’, Hindustan Zinc and Vedanta Power promoted greener commute options, including carpooling and a ‘No Vehicle Day.’ Meanwhile, in Jharsuguda, Odisha, Vedanta Aluminium organized a cycle rally and school competitions to generate innovative ideas for energy savings. ESL Steel Limited and FACOR are continuing this momentum by holding energy-saving awareness sessions for employees throughout the week.

Vedanta continues to build its strategic multi-metals and energy capability for a self-reliant India. As the world’s largest integrated producer of zinc, the fourth-largest global producer of silver, and one of the top producers of aluminium globally, Vedanta plays a pivotal role in the global supply of essential materials for the energy transition.

A global ESG champion, Vedanta is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. Through its transformative social impact initiatives, the company has improved the lives of millions of people in underserved regions.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest Sri AK Bagchi, Director (Projects) and additional charge Director (Operations), RINL advised employees and families to focus on energy conservation in day to day life and operate all facilities at rated capacity to reduce energy consumption and cost. He congratulated RINL for winning the National Energy Leader award for 6 times and Excellent Energy Efficient Unit Award for 8 times and it is a rare achievement for any PSU and Integrated Steel Plant to achieve this feat.  He lauded Energy Management department collective for conducting an extensive energy conservation awareness campaign amongst all departments and schools through various programs from 1st to 14th December, 2024.

About 3500 persons participated in various programmes in the energy conservation awareness campaign. Representatives of Steel Executive Association, trade Unions, SC&ST Association, OBC association, WIPS, and a large number of employees enthusiastically participated in the energy Conservation day celebrations at RINL.
