Vedanta’s mega demerger is now in the market, with four newly created businesses—Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power and Vedanta Iron & Steel—beginning trading on the BSE and NSE after approval of a 1:1 scheme by India’s NCLT in December. Shareholders receive one share in each demerged company for every share held in Vedanta Ltd, and the restructuring is aimed at simplifying the group structure and creating sector-focused, independently run entities that can raise capital and be valued by investors based on their specific businesses. The stocks show early post-listing volatility, with reports of both sharp gains and declines during the first sessions.

Separately, Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal, speaking in a PTI interview, says overseas relisting of Vedanta Resources is not an immediate priority but could be considered over the next three years. He also outlines longer-term growth targets, including increasing revenue from about $23–24 billion to $50 billion over time and aiming for each major vertical to become a $100 billion opportunity, supported by expansion plans across aluminium, oil and gas, steel and power. Analysts and brokerages also issue varying views on which demerged entities may be more attractive as the new listings settle.
