  • Vedanta Special Trading Session Today to Reflect Demerger Impact
    April 30, 2026, 12:18 AM EDT. Vedanta's shares will undergo a special pre-open session from 9:15 am to 9:45 am to adjust for the demerger of its four entities, then begin regular trading at 10 am. This adjustment will make the stock appear significantly lower, expected to trade between Rs 300-325, down from Rs 773.60 before the session. This reflects the exclusion of aluminium, power, oil & gas, and iron & steel divisions, which will become separate listed entities. The residual Vedanta will retain its base metal business and 63.4% stake in Hindustan Zinc. Analysts highlight the adjustment accounts for debt allocation and market volatility, with aluminium seen as the crown jewel poised for a re-rating. The special session is the key moment for market price discovery after a three-year demerger process.
