  2. Oil & Gas: Near-term production is expected to remain muted, signaling cautious optimism in this segment.
  3. Demerger progress: The company is in the final stages of its demerger process, with shareholder and creditor meetings scheduled in the coming months, which could streamline its business verticals.
  4. Debt obligations: Management remains confident of meeting Vedanta Resources Limited’s (VRL) yearly interest obligations through brand fees while maintaining a normal dividend payout.

Stock performance: Vedanta’s stock rose by 1.64% yesterday, closing at ₹460.95, reflecting a slight positive market sentiment following the management updates.
