Vedanta Limited’s stock remains in focus as its board meets today to decide on a second interim dividend for FY26. Meanwhile, its planned demerger into six listed entities faces regulatory delays, adding volatility to the stock, which analysts see holding potential up to ₹550.
Vedanta Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is one of India’s largest natural resources and diversified mining companies. The firm, led by Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal, operates across sectors including zinc, oil and gas, aluminum, iron ore, steel, and power generation.
On August 27, 2025, Vedanta’s board is set to review and declare its second interim dividend for FY26. Investors are anticipating a strong payout, building on the company’s track record of high shareholder returns. In FY25, Vedanta distributed dividends totaling ₹43.50 per share, followed by one payout of ₹7 per share in FY26. The record date for the new dividend has been fixed for August 27.

The company’s stock, however, has seen sharp market volatility in recent sessions. On August 20, Vedanta shares slipped as much as 3% intraday after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) postponed its hearing on the company’s demerger plan to September 17. The demerger, if approved, will restructure Vedanta into six separately listed entities, a move designed to streamline operations. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) raised objections, citing concerns over dues recoverability linked to Vedanta’s oil and gas business.
Adding to compliance pressure, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a notice to the company regarding certain regulatory lapses. Despite these developments, Vedanta’s stock recovered from intraday lows and ended the session 1% lower at ₹445.
Stock Price Outlook
Vedanta shares have been consolidating between ₹420 and ₹470 since mid-May 2025. Currently trading near ₹445, the stock faces resistance at ₹452, while key support levels lie at ₹431, ₹420, and ₹402. If the stock sustains above ₹452, it could test higher resistance zones at ₹470, ₹500, and ₹515.

On the downside, a failure to break past the ₹452 resistance could push the stock back toward ₹420. However, long-term charts indicate that as long as Vedanta trades above ₹402, the broader outlook remains positive, with a potential upside target of ₹550, translating to nearly 24% gains from current levels.
