Vedanta Share Price in Focus; Demerger Effective May 1, 2026: Share Allotment Ratios Announced

Vedanta Limited has announced that its board has approved May 1, 2026, as both the effective date of its long-awaited demerger and the record date for determining eligible shareholders. 

This marks a significant step in the company’s restructuring process, which aims to unlock value by separating its diversified business segments into independent entities.

Share Allotment Structure Explained

Under the approved scheme, shareholders of Vedanta will receive shares in the newly demerged entities in proportion to their existing holdings. 

For every one Vedanta share held, investors will receive 1 share each in Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited (VAML), Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL), and other entities including the oil and gas business. 

Similar 1:1 share allotment ratios will apply across multiple verticals such as iron ore and energy businesses, ensuring equitable distribution among shareholders.

Entities and Business Reorganisation

The restructuring will result in separate listed companies focused on specific sectors such as aluminium, power, oil and gas, and iron ore. As part of the transition, TSPL and Malco Energy Limited are proposed to be renamed Vedanta Power Limited and Vedanta Oil and Gas Limited, respectively, subject to regulatory approvals. 

Additionally, Vedanta’s stake in Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) will be transferred to VAML, further consolidating its aluminium business.

Regulatory Approval and Strategic Impact

The demerger received a major boost after approval from the National Company Law Tribunal in December 2025, following shareholder and creditor consent. This restructuring is one of the largest in India’s metals and mining sector and is expected to enhance transparency, improve operational focus, and allow investors to directly participate in sector-specific growth opportunities.
