Chandigarh, February 28, 2022: Vedanta Aluminium Business has launched its low carbon, ‘green’ aluminium brand-‘Restora’ on Monday. The company unveiled two product lines – Restora (low carbon aluminium) and Restora Ultra (ultra-low carbon aluminium) under the brand. Vedanta Aluminium is the first major non-ferrous Indian metals producer to manufacture low carbon products (primary aluminium) for customers worldwide, exhibiting a strong step towards its commitment of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050. Both products have been verified as low-carbon aluminium post assessment by an independent, global verification assurance firm.
With Restora, Vedanta Aluminium will address the fast-growing global demand for low carbon aluminium, driven by greater climate consciousness. Vedanta’s Restora is being manufactured at the company’s world-class aluminium smelter using renewable energy.
Restora Ultra, is made from recovered aluminium through Vedanta’s partnership with Runaya Refining, one of India’s fast-growing manufacturing start-ups.

Restora has a GHG emission intensity which is almost half of the global threshold for low carbon aluminium. With consumers becoming increasingly conscious of the provenance of the products they use, Vedanta’s Restora will provide them the assurance that the aluminium they purchase has amongst the lowest carbon footprints in the world.”
Vedanta Aluminium currently produces one of the largest ranges of aluminium and its value-added product offerings. The company is India’s largest producer and exporter of aluminium billets, and the world’s largest producer of wire rods, excluding China.
