Vedanta Group Sets $25 Billion Three-Year Capex and Moves to Professional Management

Vedanta Group plans to invest $25 billion over the next three years to expand production and is moving to a professional management model, the company said. The group, led by founder Anil Agarwal, holds a market value of approximately $55 billion and has set a goal to reach $100 billion, Whalesbook reported.

Vedanta's Shift to Professional Management

Under the new structure, independent executives will oversee day-to-day operations, while the Agarwal family retains its 54% majority stake via the London-listed holding company. The company said the change aims to improve corporate governance and provide the operational focus needed for its next phase of growth.

The $25 billion capital spending program is earmarked to expand production capacity across aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, and silver, along with a push into renewable energy and power transmission. Vedanta Group generates roughly $30 billion in annual revenue and is targeting $50 billion in annual revenue within two years. The group has also set a target to increase the share of women in its workforce from 22% to 35%.
