Vedanta Revises Dividend Policy Amid Demerger and Plans Listing of Four New Entities

Vedanta Ltd is revising its dividend policy from a mandatory minimum payout of 30% of profits to a discretionary, board-driven approach, coinciding with its demerger into five separate entities. The company aims to list four newly created firms—Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Talwandi Sabo Power, Malco Energy, and Vedanta Iron and Steel—on stock exchanges by mid-June, pending regulatory approvals. This restructuring may affect dividend predictability for investors accustomed to Vedanta's previous policy.
