Vedanta’s share price dropped by nearly 65% following its strategic demerger into five separate entities on April 30, 2026. The company aims to unlock value through this restructuring.

The demerger ratio stands at 1:5. Before the split, Vedanta shares traded around ₹773. Post-demerger, the shares are now priced at approximately ₹290.

Eligible shareholders will receive one new share for each share they own in Vedanta Ltd. The new companies include Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd, Vedanta Power Ltd, Vedanta Oil & Gas Ltd, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Ltd. These entities are expected to be listed within 4 to 8 weeks from the record date.

Vedanta’s market capitalization fell to ₹1,08,141.78 crore after the price adjustment. The previous 52-week high was ₹794.90, with the new low now at ₹271.50.

The demerger aims to enhance business segmentation and improve investor portfolios. Analysts note that Vedanta Aluminium appears as the most attractive among the newly formed companies.

“Vedanta didn’t actually crash 60%. What you saw was a price adjustment after the demerger,” stated an industry expert.

Investors should track the combined value of Vedanta Ltd and its new entities after their stock market listing. The revised sum of parts (SoTP) valuation for all resulting entities combined is estimated at ₹820 per share, according to analysts at ICICI Direct.

The listing date for these companies is anticipated around June to July 2026. Investors await further details on how this restructuring will affect their portfolios.
