Vedanta Sets May 1, 2026, as Effective Date for Demerger and Share Allotment

Vedanta Limited has set May 1, 2026, as the effective and record date for its demerger scheme, which will separate the company into five listed entities: Vedanta Limited (base metals), Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited, Talwandi Sabo Power Limited, Malco Energy Limited, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited. Shareholders will receive one share in each new entity for every Vedanta share held. The restructuring aims to simplify operations, enhance management focus, and unlock value, with the National Company Law Tribunal approving the plan in December 2025.
