The demerger, finalized on April 30, 2026, has led to significant changes in the company’s stock performance. Before the event, Vedanta’s shares were trading at approximately ₹773. Post-demerger, they plummeted to around ₹290. The market capitalization now sits at ₹1,08,141.78 crore, a stark contrast to its previous valuation.

As part of this corporate overhaul, eligible shareholders will receive shares in the new companies at a 1:1 ratio. Analysts project that these newly formed entities—Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd, Vedanta Power Ltd, Vedanta Oil & Gas Ltd, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Ltd—will be listed on the stock exchange within 4 to 8 weeks from the record date.

Historically, Vedanta operated as a single entity encompassing various sectors such as aluminium, oil and gas, power, and steel. The decision to split reflects an ongoing trend in corporate governance aimed at unlocking value through focused business segmentation.

The revised sum of the parts (SoTP) valuation for all resulting entities combined is estimated at ₹820 per share according to analysts at ICICI Direct. This valuation suggests potential long-term benefits for investors willing to navigate through the initial volatility.

Among the new companies formed, analysts have indicated that Vedanta Aluminium stands out as particularly attractive due to its growth potential in the energy sector.

Investors are advised to monitor not only Vedanta Ltd but also the market value of each separated business once they commence trading. The expectation is that these changes will create more targeted investment opportunities within their portfolios.

The upcoming months will be pivotal for both Vedanta and its shareholders as they adjust to this significant transformation in corporate structure.
