flag Vedanta Power uses mostly Indian coal to avoid global price swings, aiming to become a top-five producer despite rising fuel costs and urging government support.

flag Vedanta Power's CEO Rajinder Singh Ahuja said the company’s reliance on domestic coal has shielded its operations from global geopolitical tensions, ensuring stable fuel supply and pricing. flag While most plants use Indian coal, the Meenakshi plant in Andhra Pradesh shifted to 80% domestic coal to manage higher costs from rising global coal prices. flag Increased crude prices have also raised the cost of Light Diesel Oil used in plant start-ups, adding operational pressure. flag Despite these challenges, domestic fuel use limits exposure to international volatility. flag Ahuja highlighted ambitions to become a top-five power producer after a planned demerger, citing strong demand and policy support, while calling for timely government payments, improved regulations, and more realistic enforcement of biomass co-firing mandates.
