Vedanta, under the leadership of Anil Agarwal, is facing a decline in its stock price, which has dropped over 10% this week, closing at ₹721.10. This decline comes ahead of its demerger record date set for May 1, 2026, with the stock expected to turn ex-demerger on April 30 due to a market holiday. Investors must purchase shares by April 29 to be eligible for a 1:1 share allotment in four newly formed entities: Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power, and Vedanta Iron & Steel. The stock remains over 77% above its 52-week low of ₹398.85, but is down 11% from its recent high of ₹794.90. Trading activity is anticipated to be volatile as the demerger date approaches, with experts advising investors to consider their strategies carefully. Long-term investors may find value in accumulating shares before the record date, while short-term traders could look to capitalize on pre-record date momentum, keeping in mind the importance of setting stop-loss levels.
