Mumbai, 8th June 2026: Vedanta’s Copper and Nickel businesses announced their transition to unified sector-focused brand identities – Vedanta Copper and Vedanta Nickel – as part of the company’s transformation under Vedanta 2.0.
Under the new structure, Sterlite Copper, Fujairah Gold and the company’s copper operations in Saudi Arabia will operate under the unified Vedanta Copper brand, bringing together the business’ integrated capabilities across copper and precious metals. Within the business, the international operations in Saudi Arabia and Fujairah will be represented under Vedanta Copper International, creating a distinct identity for Vedanta’s global presence. Vedanta Nico will transition to Vedanta Nickel, strengthening its focus on building a robust domestic nickel ecosystem and supporting India’s growing demand for critical minerals.
The transition reflects Vedanta’s strategic focus on creating stronger, sector-focused businesses with greater operational alignment, market visibility and stakeholder engagement. The unified identities will enable both businesses to pursue their growth ambitions under a common vision while continuing to operate under Vedanta Limited.
Vedanta Copper, with a vision to produce 1 Million Tonnes of Copper, is set to achieve a production capacity of 460 KTPA by the end of 2027. It comprises Sterlite Copper in India and its international operations in Saudi Arabia and Fujairah, which will operate under Vedanta Copper International. Together, the business plays a critical role in supporting infrastructure, manufacturing, and electrification ambitions across key growth markets. Vedanta Nickel, with a vision to produce 60 KTPA of nickel in India, currently has a production capacity of 7 KTPA. It continues to strengthen India’s position in critical minerals while supporting emerging sectors such as electric mobility, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing.
Commenting on the transition, Puneet Khurana, (CEO, Vedanta Copper & Vedanta Nickel), said: “The transition to Vedanta Copper and Vedanta Nickel marks an important milestone in our transformation journey under Vedanta 2.0. By bringing our businesses together under unified identities, we are creating stronger, sector-focused platforms that are better positioned to serve evolving market needs, unlock synergies and drive sustainable growth. As demand for critical and transition metals continues to accelerate, we remain committed to supporting India’s industrial growth and energy transition ambitions.”
The new brand identities will be rolled out across business operations and stakeholder touchpoints in a phased manner. Both businesses will continue to operate under Vedanta Limited and remain committed to the highest standards of safety, sustainability, governance and operational excellence.
