Vedanta Limited's demerger into five independent companies has been approved by NCLT. Shareholders will receive additional shares in the new entities. December 2025 saw significant commodity price surges, with Silver up 145% and Copper up 43%. Vedanta secured new mining blocks and Chairman Anil Agarwal announced ₹1 lakh crore investment in Rajasthan.
The demerger is a transformative event for Vedanta, creating distinct entities and potentially unlocking shareholder value. The acquisition of new mining blocks also strengthens its core business.
The NCLT approval for the demerger is a significant positive development, structuring the company for future growth. Positive commodity price trends and strategic acquisitions further contribute to a positive outlook.
Vedanta Limited has received approval from the Mumbai Bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for its demerger into five independent, pure-play companies.

Following the demerger, shareholders will receive one additional share of each of the four newly demerged entities for every share held in Vedanta Limited. The approval for the demerger of the merchant power business is currently pending.
