Vedanta Limited has officially announced the issuance of Unsecured, Rated, Listed, Redeemable, Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis. The company’s duly authorized Committee of Directors approved the issuance of up to 3,00,000 NCDs with a face value of ₹1,00,000 each, aggregating to a total of ₹3,000 Crores. This strategic move, approved during the meeting held on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, is aimed at strengthening the company’s capital structure and supporting its ongoing operational requirements.

The issuance is part of Vedanta’s broader strategy to manage its debt profile while fueling its ambitious growth projects across its diversified portfolio. This private placement follows a series of financial maneuvers intended to optimize the company’s balance sheet, especially as it moves closer to its planned demerger into independent, pure-play businesses. The meeting for this approval commenced at 11:30 a.m. IST and concluded at 12:40 p.m. IST, marking a significant step in the company’s financial planning for the 2026 fiscal year.

Vedanta Limited is a global natural resources powerhouse with significant operations in zinc, lead, silver, oil & gas, iron ore, steel, aluminium, and power. In early 2025, the company announced a massive ₹80,000 Crore investment plan for Northeast India, focusing on energy, critical minerals, and digital infrastructure. Recent 2025 updates include the landmark NCLT approval for its demerger scheme and the receipt of multiple credit rating upgrades from agencies like S&P Global and Moody’s. The company has also achieved significant operational milestones, such as record alumina production at its Lanjigarh refinery and the installation of India’s first subsea oil template.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (Q3 FY26), Vedanta delivered an exceptional financial performance with its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹45,899 Crores and a record-breaking profit after tax of ₹7,807 Crores. Revenue grew by 19% year-on-year, while profits surged by 60% compared to the same period in the previous year. Famous investors continue to hold a significant stake in the company, with the promoter group led by billionaire Anil Agarwal holding approximately 56.38%, while Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) increased their stake to 12.15% by late 2025.
