Summary
- Runaya is expanding critical metals production for cobalt, cadmium, and copper.
- New capacities aim to support India's critical minerals mission and reduce imports.
- Expansion will create local jobs and support energy storage and EV sectors.
Runaya Metsource Ltd, a Vedanta company, is enhancing its critical metals production capabilities with new capacities for cobalt, cadmium, and copper. These base metals and their compounds are essential components for energy storage, electric vehicle systems, power grids, and renewable energy infrastructure.
The company is expanding its operations at the Zinc Industrial Park in Rajasthan, where it currently runs fully commissioned facilities with an installed capacity exceeding 70,000 tonnes per annum. This strategic growth positions Runaya as a multi-critical metal production platform.
By scaling domestic production through advanced solvent extraction processes, Runaya directly contributes to India's critical minerals mission. This initiative aims to decrease the nation's reliance on imports for these vital materials, thereby strengthening India's industrial future and supporting sectors critical to long-term domestic security.
