Mining billionaire Anil Agarwal’s sweeping corporate restructuring of Vedanta Limited reached its climax today as the simultaneous mega listing of four newly carved-out units triggered a massive market re-rating, unlocking Rs 63,500 crore in shareholder value and delivering 22.5% return in less than 2 months.
The demerger represents a decisive structural pivot aimed at erasing the steep conglomerate discount that has historically weighed on the commodities giant. Before the April 29 ex-date, Vedanta Ltd.’s market capitalization stood at Rs 3,02,371 crore on a share price of Rs 773.25. Following the demerger adjustment and today's multi-listing event, the combined market value of the five separate entities surged to Rs 3,65,830 crore.
