Shares of Vedanta, a leading player in the mining sector, are set to attract significant attention during Friday’s trading session. This heightened interest follows the company’s impressive fourth-quarter results announced on April 30, 2025. With a remarkable 154% surge in consolidated net profit, Vedanta’s earnings reached ₹3,483 crores, a substantial increase from ₹1,369 crores in the same quarter last year. This growth trajectory was largely fueled by enhanced output in aluminium and zinc, coupled with strategic cost management initiatives.
Strong Revenue Growth
Vedanta’s financial performance reflects robust revenue growth, with consolidated operations revenue soaring by 14% year-on-year to ₹40,455 crores, up from ₹35,509 crores. When compared to the previous quarter, revenue increased by 3.4%, rising from ₹39,115 crores. Additionally, the total consolidated income for the quarter also experienced a 14% boost, reaching ₹41,216 crores.
- Net Profit: ₹3,483 crores
- Year-on-Year Increase: 154%
- Consolidated Revenue: ₹40,455 crores
Rising Costs and Debt Management
Despite the strong performance, Vedanta’s total expenses for the quarter climbed to ₹34,560 crores, compared to ₹31,899 crores in the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributed to higher raw material costs driven by commodity inflation. As of April 30, the company’s net debt stood at ₹53,251 crores, with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.2x.
The company achieved a consolidated EBITDA of ₹11,618 crores, reflecting a 30% increase compared to the previous year. The EBITDA margin also saw improvement, rising to 35%, an increase of 465 basis points from the prior year.
Future Outlook and Strategic Initiatives
“Vedanta Limited has demonstrated outstanding performance in Q4 FY25 and the fiscal year, achieving its highest-ever quarterly consolidated revenue of ₹39,789 crores—a 14% year-on-year growth driven by favorable market conditions and increased premiums. These results highlight the company’s operational efficiency and its strategic commitment to enhancing margins and reducing debt," stated Seema Srivastava, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities. She emphasized that Vedanta is focusing on growth through key initiatives such as the Lanjigarh expansion and Sijimali Bauxite Mine to improve profitability in FY26.
Investment Insights: Buy or Sell?
Market analysts are weighing in on Vedanta’s stock performance. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, noted that Vedanta has formed a bullish flag pattern after a previous low at ₹380, indicating underlying strength.
He added, “A breakout above the ₹421 level could pave the way toward ₹460. The weekly structure remains optimistic, with the previous low potentially acting as a bear trap, eliminating weak positions and trapping late shorts. This scenario suggests strong accumulation and a likelihood of trend continuation. The momentum is quietly building, and if confirmed, this breakout could catch many investors by surprise. Vedanta’s chart indicates that weak hands have exited, positioning the bulls for a potential takeover.”
With its impressive financials and strategic projects on the horizon, Vedanta is certainly a stock to watch as it continues its journey towards growth and profitability.
