Vedanta appoints Arun Misra as its CEO for a one-year term, according to reports from NDTV and Business Line. Misra is currently associated with Vedanta’s zinc and silver operations through its subsidiary Hindustan Zinc. NDTV says Misra joined Hindustan Zinc in 2019 as deputy CEO, later taking over as CEO and whole-time director in August 2020. Both sources state that he will step down from his current role at Hindustan Zinc to take up the new CEO position at Vedanta. Business Line also notes that the appointment comes as Vedanta reports a jump in Q1 profit, though it does not link the profit change directly to the leadership move. NDTV adds that Vedanta’s zinc and silver business is conducted via Hindustan Zinc within the Vedanta Group structure. The appointment is reported as for one year.
