Vedanta demerger and last date

Vedanta has fixed May 1 as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for its demerger under the scheme of arrangement. Since stock markets will remain closed on May 1 for Maharashtra Day, April 30 will be treated as the ex-date for the demerger.  Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, shares need to be bought at least one trading day before the ex-date.

Shareholders who are eligible as on the record date will receive one share each in Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Talwandi Sabo Power, Malco Energy and Vedanta Iron and Steel for every one Vedanta share held. Vedanta will hold a special price discovery session on April 30 from 9:15 am-9:45 am, after which normal trading will begin at 10 am.

The listing of the demerged entities will take place later and timelines may differ, ranging from a few weeks to several months, depending on regulatory clearances and operational requirements. Each of the demerged companies will have to complete separate approval processes before listing. Vedanta’s demerger plan was approved by the NCLT in December 2025.
