The announcement came after a key meeting with its shareholders and creditors voted to implement the demerger plan, the announcement stated.

Earlier, the company had proposed six separate entities. However, the plan was revised at the beginning of 2025.

The latest move is expected to streamline operations and help the company provide more focused and independent management to each unit.

Meanwhile, the company has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that it has raised Rs 2,600 crore through the issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs).

Vedanta stated that its committee of directors has approved the allotment of 2,06,000 rupee-denominated unsecured, redeemable, rated, listed, non-convertible debentures of face value of Rs 1 lakh each, aggregating to Rs 2,060 crore (Series 1 debentures).

The company has also allotted 54,000 rupee-denominated unsecured, redeemable, rated, listed, non-convertible debentures of face value of Rs 1 lakh each, aggregating to Rs 540 crores (series 2 debentures), Vedanta said.

On February 11, the company’s committee of directors had approved raising up to Rs 3,000 crore through issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs).
