Vedanta Sets May 1, 2026, as Record Date for Five-Way Demerger and Share Allotment

Vedanta Ltd has set May 1, 2026, as the effective and record date for its demerger, which will split the company into five listed entities focused on aluminium, power, oil and gas, iron and steel, and base metals. Shareholders will receive one share in each new company for every Vedanta share held. The restructuring aims to simplify the corporate structure, enhance management focus, and unlock value by allowing each business to pursue independent growth strategies. The National Company Law Tribunal approved the scheme in December 2025, and the move has been positively received by investors, reflected in a share price increase.
