The Anil Agarwal company has set the record date on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
Vedanta’s first interim dividend was Rs 7 per share which was announced on June 18. The payout was Rs 2,737 crores.
Vedanta tops the chart as the highest dividend paying stock. Its dividend yield is 8% and the company has paid Rs 35.5 as dividend over the past 12 months.
The announcement was made after market hours and Vedanta shares today ended at Rs 447.10 on the NSE, up Rs 1.60 or 0.36% over the Wednesday closing price.
The company is in news after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) deferred the hearing on its demerger plan to September 17. The move followed “serious objections” raised by the Centre over alleged concealment and non-disclosure of key details in the rejig exercise.According to a CNBC-TV18 report, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas flagged concerns that the proposed demerger could compromise the government’s ability to recover dues. The ministry alleged instances of revenue inflation and under-reporting of liabilities on Vedanta’s books.The report also noted that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had earlier issued a warning letter to Vedanta after it altered the demerger scheme despite having secured prior approvals from stock exchanges and the regulator — a move that was termed a serious breach.In another setback, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea by the Vedanta Group seeking additional compensation for its Punjab-based Talwandi Sabo Power project. The company had approached the apex court challenging the withdrawal of ‘deemed export’ benefits and sought higher compensation.
The apex upheld the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity’s (APTEL) order, ruling that Talwandi Sabo was never legitimately entitled to such benefits, a Mint report said, adding that this effectively closes the door on any additional financial relief from the project.
The mining major had posted an 11.7% year-on-year (YoY) decline in its consolidated net profit in Q1 to Rs 3,185 crore. However, the company’s revenue from operations rose by 5.75% YoY to Rs 37,824 crore, up from Rs 35,764 crore reported a year ago.
The net profit is comparable to Rs 3,606 crore posted in the same quarter of the previous financial year. The net profit is attributable to the owners of the company.
