S&P Global Ratings Upgrades Vedanta Resources Credit Rating to BB

S&P Global Ratings upgraded Vedanta Resources Ltd's long-term issuer credit rating from 'B' to 'BB', citing improved financial position, cost efficiency, and proactive refinancing following the group's demerger. The upgrade reflects strengthened earnings, especially in aluminium, supported by increased captive alumina production at the Lanjigarh refinery, which is expected to reduce production costs. The stable outlook anticipates continued deleveraging and improved cash flows despite ongoing economic uncertainties.
