Summary
- NCLT Mumbai bench completed hearings on Vedanta demerger
- Government objected to Vedanta's demerger plan due to pending Rs 16,700 crore claims
- Vedanta remains committed to the proposed demerger
As of November 12, 2025, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Mumbai has wrapped up its hearing on Vedanta's demerger case. During the hearing, the government raised objections to Vedanta's proposal to split itself into independent, sector-specific entities.
The government pointed out that it is opposing Vedanta's demerger plan due to its pending claims of Rs 16,700 crore. However, Vedanta remains committed to the proposed demerger, which the company says will create separate entities across its aluminium, oil and gas, power, and iron and steel businesses.
A spokesperson for Vedanta stated that the NCLT has now reserved the matter for orders, indicating that a final decision on the demerger is yet to be made. The company expressed its continued dedication to the demerger plan, which it believes will benefit the various business verticals.
