Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has earned a prestigious 4-Star rating from the Ministry of Coal for its Jamkhani coal mine in Sundargarh, Odisha, for the financial year 2023–24. Scoring an impressive 83 out of 100 in the Ministry’s star rating assessment, the mine has emerged as one of the top-performing in the country - within just two years of commencing operations. The Jamkhani mine plays a pivotal role in Vedanta Aluminium’s vision of achieving 100 per cent vertical integration and reducing India’s reliance on coal imports, contributing to the larger goal of a self-reliant, Viksit Bharat.

The star rating assessment scheme, introduced by the Ministry of Coal in FY 2019, aims to promote sustainable and responsible mining by evaluating mines across a wide range of parameters. These include scientific mining practices, environmental conservation, statutory compliance, land and resettlement management, economic performance, technological adoption, employee welfare, and workplace safety.

Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said, “This acknowledgement is a testament to the dedication and coordinated efforts of the team at Jamkhani and reflects Vedanta’s broader vision of achieving excellence through a strong focus on sustainability, safety and digital innovation. The recognition underscores our commitment to driving transformational growth while upholding the highest standards of environmental and social governance.”
