MSCI to Remove Vedanta from Global Standard Indexes Following Demerger

Vedanta was in focus after MSCI announced that the residual Vedanta entity will be removed from its Global Standard Indexes with effect from June 22, 2026, following the completion of the company's multi-entity demerger. The index provider's decision comes after the restructuring reduced the market capitalisation of the residual Vedanta entity. 

MSCI to Remove Vedanta from Global Standard Indexes 

MSCI announced that Vedanta, now the residual company after the group's demerger, will be removed from its Standard and Large Cap indices from June 22, 2026. 

The change follows the breakup of the original Vedanta into 5 separately listed companies. With the restructuring complete, the residual Vedanta entity has a lower market capitalisation than before, resulting in its exclusion from the MSCI Global Standard Indexes. 

The final phase of the demerger was completed on Monday when Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Oil & Gas and Vedanta Iron & Steel commenced trading on the BSE and NSE following a special pre-open session.
