Vedanta's share price rose by 1.53% to ₹750.50 ahead of its Q4 results and the demerger record date set for May 1, 2026. Today, April 29, is the last opportunity for investors to buy shares to qualify for the demerger benefits, which will allow shareholders to receive shares in five newly formed companies: Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Steel and Ferrous Materials, and Vedanta Limited, at a 1:1 ratio. Analysts, including Sunny Agrawal from SBI Securities, estimate the fair value of Vedanta shares to be between ₹880 and ₹900 over a 12-18 month period, with a significant portion of this value linked to the aluminium business. The demerger may also help narrow the current 20-30% valuation discount faced by the conglomerate, potentially enhancing shareholder value by aligning individual businesses with industry peers. A special pre-open session for share price discovery is scheduled for April 30, 2026.
