Vedanta Share Price: Vedanta shares have rewarded their shareholders in a big way over the past one year. As per data, Vedanta shares have nearly doubled in 12 months on optimism from the demerger.

According to BSE data, Vedanta shares have zoomed 97 per cent in one year, significantly outperforming the benchmark BSE Sensex, which has declined 5 per cent in the same period.

Vedanta share price closed at Rs 294.80 on May 4, 2026.

Vedanta shares turned ex-date for demerger on April 30, 2026. On the ex-date, Vedanta shares adjusted more than 60 per cent and closed at Rs 271.60.

On May 2, 2025, the Vedanta share price was at Rs 415.10.

On April 21, 2026, Vedanta shares hit a record high of Rs 795, increasing the company's market capitalisation by Rs 1.38 lakh crore on the BSE.

Vedanta's board had approved May 1 as the record date and also the effective date for the demerger, paving the way for the mining conglomerate to split its existing business into five different companies.

According to Vedanta, shareholders holding one share of Vedanta will get four additional shares of the four new companies. The four new companies are:

  1. Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited (VAML)
  2. Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd (TSPL)
  3. Malco Energy Ltd (MEL)
  4. and Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited (VISL)

Now that the Vedanta shares have turned ex-date, the company will file with the stock exchanges for listing approval of the remaining four companies.

The shares of the four companies are expected to list by mid-June.

Emkay Global Financial said that it sees Vedanta demerger as a meaningful value-unlocking trigger for shareholders. The restructuring is expected to drive upside through

1. Potential valuation re-rating, as pure-play entities typically command a premium over diversified miners

2. Improved capital allocation backed by focused management teams for each business.
