Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer and a business of Vedanta Group Ltd., is operating outside the conventional gender norms in a hardline manufacturing sector. It has decided to recruit 15 transgender employees in 2026, bringing the total to 44 at its Jharsuguda (Odisha) and Korba (Chhattisgarh) units. 

The beginning of Pride Month has showcased a number of stories of inclusion from across the world, but Vedanta's decision represents a substantial shift towards inclusivity as a strategic advantage rather than a symbolic action. This can surely be acknowledged as one of the largest workplace integration drives in India's manufacturing sector, based on a straightforward business case.

Rajiv Kumar, CEO of Vedanta Aluminium, said, “Inclusivity is not just a moral obligation; it is a strategic necessity. A diverse workforce brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and strengthens our adaptability—essential elements in today’s fast-evolving industrial world. “
