Vedanta Demerger Entities See Mixed Debut on Bourses

Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd shares declined around 5% from its listing price on Monday, shedding initial gains amid profit-booking after a strong debut. Meanwhile, Vedanta Oil & Gas hit the lower circuit in its first trade, reflecting cautious investor sentiment on opening day. The demerger, which created four independent entities including Power and Iron & Steel businesses, has simplified the conglomerate structure. Shareholders received one share in each new company for every vedanta share held. Despite the early volatility, the combined market value of

nta Ltd and the demerged entities significantly exceeded the pre-demerger valuation, signalling potential long-term value unlocking for investors. Analysts continue to view the aluminium business as the strongest performer due to its scale and margins.
