Record oil and gas output
- Mined metal production at Zinc India up slightly
- Copper production falls
Vedanta Resources said it reached record full-year production of oil and gas, driven by the ramp-up of the Rajasthan block in India.
The company achieved 218,651 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the year ended March 31st 2014, up 6% on 2012′s 205,323 boepd.
At the Zinc India business, mined metal production grew by 1% to 880,000 tonnes, as the second half of the year experienced a slower-than-expected ramp-up of underground mining projects.
Full-year integrated production of refined zinc, lead and silver increased by 13%, 10% and 4% respectively.
Iron ore sales came to 27,000 tonnes on production of 1.5m tonnes, after resuming mining on December 28th 2013 at Karnataka.
Copper production in India and Australia fell 17% to 294,000 tonnes due to the temporary closure of the Tuticorin smelter in the first quarter of 2014.
In Zambia copper output dropped 19% to 128,000 tonnes, due to unscheduled stoppages at the Konkola underground mine.
Aluminium output was down 1% to 524,000 tonnes after restarting the Lanjigarh alumina refinery in July 2013.
