Vedanta Plans Demerger Completion by September-End

Vedanta Ltd, led by Anil Agarwal, expects to complete its long-awaited business demerger by the end of September 2025, according to company officials. The demerger plan, which has already received critical approvals from shareholders and creditors, aims to split Vedanta into several independent entities, including Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power, and Vedanta Iron and Steel, while retaining the base metals business within the parent company following stakeholder consultations. The restructuring is intended to allow each business vertical to focus on its core strengths and strategic growth, with the company emphasizing that retaining base metals will not affect overall shareholder value. Regulatory steps such as transferring mining leases are underway, and the company is actively addressing logistical and approval challenges to meet the timeline. The demerger is seen as a move to unlock long-term value for stakeholders and transition Vedanta from asset management to asset ownership. The record date to determine shareholder eligibility for new shares in the spun-off entities will be announced soon.
