Vedanta Limited's board formally approved implementation of the composite scheme on 20 April 2026, setting 1 May 2026 as the effective and record date for determining eligible shareholders. The demerger created four resulting companies via vertical split: for every one Vedanta share held on record date, shareholders received one equity share each in Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited, Talwandi Sabo Power Limited, Malco Energy Limited, and Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited.
