Vedanta's share price came under heavy selling pressure on Tuesday after a large block deal.

The stock opened lower at ₹294.50 and extended its losses during the session. Investors reacted to reports that a promoter-linked entity was likely involved in the transaction. The development also came shortly after the company's major demerger exercise.

Vedanta Block Deal Worth ₹2,149 Crore

According to exchange data, around 7.3 crore Vedanta Ltd shares changed hands through block deals at a price of ₹292 per share. The transaction was valued at about ₹2,149 crore.

While the names of the buyers and sellers were not disclosed immediately, market participants were expecting promoter entity Twin Star Holdings to reduce its stake through the deal.

Earlier, CNBC-TV18 had reported that Twin Star Holdings was planning to sell up to 6.5 crore shares through block trades. The reported floor price was ₹291 per share, which was nearly 4.9% lower than Vedanta Ltd's previous closing price.

Promoter Stake in Focus

Twin Star Holdings is the largest shareholder in Vedanta Ltd. As of March 31, 2026, it held a 40.02% stake in the company.

The overall promoter group owned 56.38% of Vedanta Ltd at the end of the March quarter. The latest transaction is being seen as a promoter stake dilution, although official details are still awaited.

Vedanta's Recent Demerger

The block deal comes less than two weeks after Vedanta completed a major restructuring exercise.

Under the demerger plan, the group's aluminium, oil and gas, power, and iron and steel businesses were separated into individual listed entities. The move was aimed at creating focused companies that can operate independently.
