The sharp decline reflects a mechanical adjustment following the demerger. The stock’s ex-demerger price was discovered at Rs 289.5 during a special pre-open session conducted by exchanges today.
Under the restructuring, Vedanta will spin off its aluminium, power, oil and gas, and iron ore businesses into separate listed entities. Shareholders as of the record date will receive one share in each new company for every share held.
The record date for the demerger is May 1, which falls on a market holiday. Investors who bought shares on or before April 29 will be eligible for the share allotment in the spun-off entities.
The adjusted share price now reflects only the residual business, while the value of the demerged verticals will be realised separately once the new entities are listed.
The restructuring is aimed at creating focused, sector-specific businesses and improving transparency for investors.
