Vedanta’s Four Demerged Companies Make Stock Market Debut

Vedanta Aluminium, Power, Oil & Gas And Iron & Steel Begin Independent Trading

The four demerged businesses of Vedanta officially began trading on Indian stock exchanges on Monday, marking a major milestone in the group’s restructuring journey.

The newly listed entities Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Oil and Gas and Vedanta Iron and Steel made their stock market debut on both the BSE and NSE following the completion of Vedanta Ltd’s demerger process.

The listing represents one of the largest corporate restructuring exercises in India’s natural resources sector, aimed at creating sector-focused businesses with independent growth strategies.

Vedanta Aluminium Emerges As Largest Entity

Among the newly listed companies, Vedanta Aluminium Metal debuted at ₹527 on the BSE and touched an intraday high of ₹538.

The company emerged as the largest of the four demerged entities, commanding a market capitalisation of approximately ₹1.96 lakh crore.

On the NSE, Vedanta Aluminium Metal began trading at ₹522.

Despite a strong opening, the stock later traded below its listing price during the session as investors assessed valuations and future growth prospects.

Industry analysts expect Vedanta Aluminium to attract significant investor attention given its leadership position in India’s aluminium sector and exposure to rising infrastructure and industrial demand.

Vedanta Power Leads Gains

Vedanta Power opened at ₹41.30 on the BSE and climbed to an intraday high of ₹43.35.

The company maintained positive momentum throughout trading and was quoted around 3.6% above its opening price later in the session.

Vedanta Power’s market valuation stood at approximately ₹16,736 crore.

On the NSE, the stock debuted at ₹41.80.

Market participants viewed the positive performance as a reflection of growing investor interest in India’s power and energy infrastructure sector amid rising electricity demand and industrial expansion.

Oil & Gas And Iron & Steel Businesses Also Debut

Vedanta Oil and Gas commenced trading at ₹39 on the BSE and touched a high of ₹40.95 during the day.

The company achieved a market capitalisation of approximately ₹14,488 crore.

Meanwhile, Vedanta Iron and Steel listed at ₹22.25 and was valued at around ₹8,231 crore.

On the NSE, Vedanta Oil and Gas debuted at ₹38, while Vedanta Iron and Steel started trading at ₹20.

Both stocks later traded below their opening prices as investors evaluated standalone business prospects and sector-specific opportunities.

Demerger Approved By NCLT

The demerger was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in December last year.

Under the approved 1:1 demerger scheme, shareholders of Vedanta Ltd received one share in each newly listed company for every one share held in the parent company.

The restructuring is designed to unlock shareholder value by creating independent businesses focused on specific sectors including aluminium, power, oil and gas, and iron and steel.

Vedanta Bets On Sector-Focused Growth

Vedanta has previously stated that the demerger would simplify its corporate structure and create pure-play companies that are easier for investors to evaluate.

The company believes the move will attract a broader pool of investors, including sovereign wealth funds, strategic investors and global institutions seeking direct exposure to India’s growth sectors.

Management also expects the independent entities to gain greater flexibility in pursuing sector-specific growth strategies, investment plans and operational priorities.

Analysts believe the success of the demerger will ultimately depend on each company’s ability to execute independently while capitalising on opportunities in India’s expanding infrastructure, energy and industrial markets.
