The demerger was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal in December 2025. Under the approved demerger scheme, each Vedanta shareholder will receive one share of each of the demerged entities for every share held in the company.

Vedanta has said the demerger will simplify its corporate structure by creating sector-focused businesses, enabling investors to gain direct exposure to individual companies.

The move is also expected to give each entity greater strategic flexibility, allowing them to pursue growth opportunities independently while aligning more closely with customer needs, investment cycles and end markets.
