Vedanta’s share price dropped by nearly 65% following its strategic demerger on April 30, 2026, resulting in a major restructuring of its business model.
The company is splitting into five separate entities: Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd, Vedanta Power Ltd, Vedanta Oil & Gas Ltd, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Ltd. Before the demerger, shares traded at approximately ₹773; post-demerger, they fell to around ₹290. Analysts noted that eligible shareholders will receive new shares in a 1:1 ratio.
“Vedanta didn’t actually crash 60%. What you saw was a price adjustment after the demerger,” said an industry expert. 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.
The intention behind this demerger is clear—unlocking value by separating different business segments. Investors should keep an eye on the combined value of Vedanta Ltd and the newly formed companies as they prepare for their stock market listings.
Following the drop, Vedanta’s market capitalization stood at ₹1,08,141.78 crore. Notably, its 52-week high was ₹794.90 before the demerger; now, it has hit a new low of ₹271.50.
As for the upcoming developments, new entities are expected to be listed within 4 to 8 weeks from the record date. The anticipated listing date falls around June to July 2026.
Among the newly formed companies, analysts believe that Vedanta Aluminium stands out as particularly attractive for investors looking to diversify their portfolios.
Investors will soon receive shares of these new companies once they are listed. They should monitor how each separated business performs in the market after this significant transition.
