Vedanta Limited
NSE: VEDL | BSE: 500295 | Sector: Metals & Mining – Diversified | Large-Cap
Business Overview
Vedanta Limited is a diversified natural resources major engaged in exploring, extracting and processing zinc, lead, silver, copper, aluminium, iron ore and oil & gas, with a presence across India, South Africa, Namibia, Ireland, Liberia and the UAE. Its subsidiary Hindustan Zinc is the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top 10 silver producers globally. The company also has interests in commercial power generation, steel manufacturing, port operations and glass substrate manufacturing. In a major corporate restructuring, Vedanta demerged its Aluminium, Power, Oil & Gas, Base Metals (Copper and Zinc International) and Iron Ore & Steel undertakings into five separate listed entities, effective 1 May 2026, leaving Vedanta Limited as a leaner residual entity centred on Zinc-Lead-Silver operations. Promoter holding stood at 54.72% as of Jun 2026. It reported FY26 (pre-demerger, consolidated) revenue of around ₹1,74,075 Cr, up 15% YoY, with EBITDA up 29% YoY to Rs 55,976 Cr and PAT at Rs 25,096 Cr, up 22% YoY — its strongest-ever full-year performance, delivered just before the demerger took effect.
Financial Summary
Technical Snapshot
Vedanta has corrected sharply from its pre-demerger highs and is now consolidating in the 255–285 band following the 1 May 2026 demerger of its Aluminium, Power, Oil & Gas, Base Metals and Iron Ore & Steel businesses into separate listed entities. Immediate support lies at 257–260, with the 52-week low (post-demerger adjusted) at 152; a move past the 280–285 resistance zone could open the way towards 300, with the 52-week high at 361 as the broader resistance.
