Vedanta Share Price Drops Over 8%; CFO Ajay Goel Plans to List 4 Demerged Units by Mid-May

As per Reuters report, Vedanta Limited has announced that 4 of its business segments – steel, oil and gas, aluminium and power – will be listed as separate companies on Indian stock exchanges by mid May, after the demerger becomes effective on April 1. 

Demergers and Listing Timeline 

The company law tribunal gave its approval in December, allowing Vedanta to split its operations. The demerger will take 4 to 6 weeks from April 1, meaning all 5 entities – the four new units plus the parent holding the base metals business – should be listed by mid May. 

Units to Be Listed 

The restructuring creates distinct entities for steel and ferrous metals, oil and gas, aluminium and power. The base metals division will remain with the parent company, which continues to operate under the Vedanta name. 

Impact of Tariff Changes 

Ajay Goel noted that the increase in U.S. tariffs on aluminium imports to 50% has had an insignificant effect on Vedanta’s operations, with strong domestic demand offsetting any adverse impact.

Conclusion
