Mining major Vedanta is set to file for stock exchange approvals next week for the listing of its demerged entities, with trading expected to commence by mid-June. The update was shared by Deshnee Naidoo during the company’s Q4 investor call, indicating that the demerger process has entered its final phase.
Key Highlights
- Vedanta to file for listing approval, demerged entities expected to begin trading by mid-June 2026.
- Company demerger into five entities aims to unlock value and simplify corporate structure for investors.
The restructuring plan, approved by the board, will result in the creation of five independent, sector-focused companies. According to Ajay Goel, the demerger will become effective from May 1, with shareholders holding one share as of April 29 receiving four additional shares in the newly formed entities.
The move is aimed at simplifying Vedanta’s corporate structure while enabling each business to operate as a pure-play entity with its own growth strategy. The company expects the restructuring to enhance investor interest by offering direct exposure to sector-specific businesses.
The demerger has been structured to align debt with each unit’s earnings profile. Businesses such as oil & gas and iron & steel are expected to operate with near-zero net debt, while others will maintain leverage in line with their cash flow and servicing capabilities.

New entities to be listed separately
As part of the plan, Vedanta will list four entities independently, including Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited, Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd, Malco Energy Ltd, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited. Shareholders will receive equity in these businesses in a 1:1 ratio under the composite scheme.
The restructuring is expected to provide greater flexibility for individual businesses to pursue tailored strategies aligned with their respective markets, investment cycles, and customer segments. It also opens avenues for participation from global investors, including sovereign wealth funds and retail investors, seeking focused exposure to India’s growth sectors.
