India, September 29, 2022: Vedanta Ltd, a global diversified natural resources company, is scaling up its renewable energy sourcing to 1 GW, thus accelerating transition of its operations to green energy. The company invited Expression of Interest (EOI) for an additional 500 MW of renewable energy. Vedanta has set a target to achieve 2.5 GW of renewable energy for its operations by 2030.

 

Commenting on the development, Vedanta’s Chief Safety Officer and Group CEO, Mr. Sunil Duggal said, “This move furthers our journey towards becoming the ESG leader in the natural resources sector. It is a crucial step in achieving our 2.5 GW of Renewable Power by 2030. We are looking forward to collaborate with the best in the industry, as we march ahead on our decarbonization goals”.
