Market Snapshot (as of 09:21 AM IST)​

Vedanta remains part of the BSE 100 index and is classified under diversified metals, a segment that continues to draw attention amid evolving global commodity dynamics.

Restructuring Plan: What Has Been Approved​

The company has received clearance for its proposed scheme of arrangement involving the reorganisation of multiple business verticals into separate, focused entities. The approved structure covers the realignment of aluminium, merchant power, oil and gas, and iron and steel undertakings into independent companies, while the parent entity continues as a listed holding company.
Under the approved framework, shareholders of Vedanta Limited will receive shares in the resulting companies in a one-to-one ratio, ensuring mirror shareholding across entities. The restructuring excludes the base metals vertical, which will continue to remain within the existing corporate structure.

Strategic Rationale​

The reorganisation is aimed at creating pure-play companies with sharper operational focus and clearer financial profiles. Management has outlined that each business has distinct growth drivers, capital requirements, and risk characteristics, and operating them as independent entities is expected to improve decision-making agility and unlock long-term shareholder value.
The move is also expected to enhance transparency for investors, allowing them to directly participate in specific businesses aligned with their investment preferences, while enabling each entity to independently access capital markets for future expansion.

Financial Position Post-Restructuring​

Based on the approved scheme, the net worth of the parent company will remain robust even after the transfer of identified undertakings, while the resulting companies are expected to be capitalised adequately with assets exceeding transferred liabilities. The merchant power business, in particular, will see a significant strengthening of its balance sheet following the reorganisation.
