NCLT Mumbai has officially approved Vedanta’s long planned demerger, allowing the group to restructure businesses into independent listed companies separately.

The demerger aims to unlock value by separating metals, oil, power, and aluminium businesses into focused entities for future growth.

NCLT approval clears a major regulatory hurdle, bringing Vedanta closer to executing one of India’s largest corporate restructuring exercises ever.

Under the plan, existing Vedanta shareholders will receive shares in newly formed companies without any additional investment from their side.

The company believes independent structures will improve management focus, operational efficiency, and transparent valuation for each business segment separately listed.

Vedanta’s demerger includes businesses like aluminium, oil and gas, power, steel, and base metals operations across India and abroad markets.

After NCLT approval, Vedanta will proceed with filings, timelines, and compliance steps required for completing the demerger process smoothly nationwide. 

Market experts say the demerger could help investors better understand each business and assess risks independently with clearer financial disclosures. 

Vedanta clarified that operations, employees, and existing commitments will continue normally during the transition period across all business units globally.

The NCLT Mumbai sanctioned demerger marks a significant moment in Vedanta’s long term strategy for growth and shareholder value creation.
