Stock Surges Over 35% in 2025
Shares of oil-to-metals conglomerate Vedanta Ltd reached a one-year peak on Friday, rallying over 35% so far this year. The stock has gained 35.29% on the BSE, hitting an intra-day 52-week high of Rs 607.65. Investors have shown strong interest in the stock, particularly as it has climbed consistently over the past 13 trading sessions, rising 17.44% during this period.
Demerger Plan Approved by NCLT
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved a significant restructuring plan for Vedanta last Tuesday. The plan outlines splitting the conglomerate into five separate listed entities, aimed at streamlining operations and unlocking shareholder value.
Post-Demerger Structure
Once the demerger is completed, Vedanta Ltd will retain the base metals business. The other four entities will include:
- Vedanta Aluminium
- Talwandi Sabo Power
- Vedanta Steel and Iron
- Malco Energy
This strategic move is expected to enhance operational focus and financial transparency for each business unit.
Hindustan Zinc Also Hits Record High
The demerger news has positively impacted group firms as well. Shares of Hindustan Zinc, another Vedanta group company, touched a 52-week high of Rs 646 during Friday’s trading session. The stock has surged 43.50% this year, reflecting strong investor confidence in the group’s overall performance.
Outlook for Investors
The consistent rally in Vedanta Ltd’s stock, along with the NCLT-approved demerger plan, signals optimism in the market about the future growth prospects of the newly structured entities. Investors are closely watching how the reorganization unfolds and its impact on individual business performance.
