Vedanta Ltd closed at ₹260.40 on September 28, 2026, down 2.23% at 3:14 PM. The share has slipped 0.44% over the past five sessions and about 9.6% in the past month. The decline follows a broader market sell‑off triggered by a sharp rise in crude oil prices, which saw both the SENSEX and NIFTY50 indices fall 1.5% each during the session. The company has been trading on a post‑demerger basis since April 30, 2026, after the demerger scheme became effective on May 1.

Hindustan Zinc shares fell 3.26% to ₹569.75 on the NSE, while Vedanta Power traded 2.52% lower at ₹32.12. Vedanta Iron and Steel was trading around 4% down at ₹31.49, and Vedanta Oil and Gas was down 3.23% to ₹33.26. Vedanta Aluminium Metal shares traded 1.36% lower at ₹420.95. These intraday declines reflect the broader sectoral weakness observed across the group’s demerged entities. Investors noted that the demerger, completed on June 15, 2026, has not yet translated into a rebound for the individual businesses.

In the past month, Vedanta’s demerged entities have remained under pressure. Vedanta Aluminium Metal shares have declined 7.72%, while Vedanta Oil and Gas has fallen 17.5%. Vedanta Iron and Steel has tumbled 18.4%, and Vedanta Power has dropped 12.34% over the same period. Hindustan Zinc shares have declined 8.4% in the past 30 days. The decline in Vedanta Power is the steepest among the demerged units, reflecting challenges in the power sector.

Vedanta Ltd has been trading on a post‑demerger basis since April 30, 2026, after the company’s demerger scheme became effective on May 1. Under the scheme, Vedanta shareholders received one share each in the four demerged entities for every one Vedanta Ltd share held as of the record date. The four resulting companies—Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Oil and Gas, and Vedanta Iron and Steel—were listed and began trading on the NSE and BSE on June 15, 2026. The listing marked the completion of the group’s restructuring, with each business now operating as a separate listed entity with its own management, capital allocation and growth strategy.

Vedanta Ltd continues as the parent listed company, housing businesses including Hindustan Zinc and its future‑facing ventures. The company has said the restructuring is aimed at creating focused, sector‑specific businesses and simplifying Vedanta’s corporate structure. The restructuring is intended to enable sharper strategic focus, independent capital allocation and greater accountability, while allowing investors to get direct exposure to individual businesses across aluminium, oil and gas, power, and iron and steel.
