Vedanta’s stock dropped 3.72% to ₹433.55 on the previous trading day. It was ranked among the Nifty Next 50 index’s top losers. Short-term pressure on earnings and a cautious market sentiment were cited as the reasons for the company’s performance pulling back the stock.
Mumbai-based Vedanta Limited is diversified. The company is the leader in the resource and energy sectors in India and has a presence in zinc, aluminium, copper, iron ore, silver, and renewable energy businesses.
Despite Vedanta’s shares on the NSE, the company made a remarkable turnaround in profitability with a sharp rise in the net profit for the year ended March 2025.
Financial Performance
For FY25 Vedanta’s consolidated revenues rose from ₹1,43,727 crore to ₹1,52,968 crore. Net profit was more than doubled to ₹20,534 crore as compared to last year ₹7,537 crore. EPS also increased from ₹11.42 in FY24 to ₹38.97 in FY25.
On the other hand, the quarterly results were not all positive. For the quarter of June 2025, the revenue rose to ₹37,824 crores from ₹35,764 crores; net profit, however, declined to ₹4,457 crores from ₹5,095 crores, indicating that the company might be experiencing some margin squeeze in the near term.
