New Delhi, March 21 Vedanta Ltd, the country's leading metals and mining conglomerate, has recycled and reused over 85 million cubic meters of water across its operations in FY26 until February, amid global warnings of a 40 per cent water shortfall by 2030.
The announcement comes a day before World Water Day on March 22, highlighting the company's commitment to scalable water management in a water-stressed world.
In response to increasing water stress due to climate variability and rising demand, Vedanta is committed to responsible water stewardship, focusing on technology-driven efficiency, ecosystem restoration, and community partnerships to achieve full 'Net Water Positive' status by 2030, the company said in a statement.
Vedanta's water strategy is based on three pillars – recycle (reusing treated water to reduce freshwater use), conserve (enhancing efficiency to lower consumption), and replenish (recharging through watershed and community projects), the statement added.
The company has also steadily strengthened its water management practices across its industrial operations, achieving a 31 per cent water recycling rate, which is among the highest observed in water-intensive industries globally, through advanced treatment and reuse systems.
Vedanta Ltd is among the world's leading producers of metals, oil & gas, critical minerals, power, and technology.
