Vedanta Plans Fundraising Drive

Mining and metals giant Vedanta Ltd is set to raise up to ₹5,000 crore through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) after reporting a sharp jump in quarterly earnings. The board-approved issuance comes at a time when the company is enjoying improved operational performance and gearing up for a major structural shift.

Fundraising Details

Vedanta’s committee of directors has greenlit the issuance of 5 lakh unsecured, rated, listed, and redeemable NCDs with a face value of ₹1 lakh each. These bonds will be raised via private placement and will be listed on the BSE, according to the company’s regulatory filing on Friday.

This fundraise is a part of Vedanta’s ongoing strategy to manage its capital structure efficiently and meet its upcoming financial commitments.

Vedanta’s Strong Q4 FY25 Performance

The announcement follows Vedanta’s impressive financial results for the January–March 2025 quarter:

• Consolidated Net Profit: ₹3,483 crore, up 154.4% YoY (vs ₹1,369 crore in Q4 FY24).
• Total Income: ₹41,216 crore (up from ₹36,093 crore YoY).

The significant jump in earnings was attributed to lower production costs and higher output volumes, reflecting improved operational efficiency across key verticals.

Vedanta’s Debt Position

Despite strong earnings, Vedanta continues to carry a sizeable debt load. As of March 31, 2025, the company’s gross debt stood at ₹73,853 crore. The ₹5,000 crore NCD issue will help refinance part of this liability or support capex and business restructuring.

Strategic Restructuring in Focus

The Anil Agarwal-led conglomerate is also in the midst of a corporate restructuring exercise. The much-anticipated demerger of its key businesses spanning oil & gas, metals, power, and aluminium is expected to be completed by September 2025, as confirmed by senior company executives.

This strategic move aims to unlock value by creating independently listed, focused entities, each with a dedicated management and capital allocation strategy.
