The impairment is a result of continued uncertainty in the viability of the project due to geo-political factors including high stripping ratios, lower ore grades, logistical constraints. 5 During the quarter ended 31 March 2026, ESL Steel Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, has derecognised deferred tax assets of Rs. 510 Crore basis the management’s estimate of future outlook, financial projections and requirements of Ind AS 12. Based on revised projections, it is probable that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realised. 6 The Government of India (GoI), acting through the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), had raised demand up to 14 May 2020 for Government’s additional share of Profit Oil, based on its computation of disallowance of cost incurred over retrospective re-allocation of certain common costs between Development Areas (DAs) of Rajasthan Block; recovery of exploration costs incurred after the Exploration phase; and certain other matters aggregating to Rs. 9,545 Crore (USD 1,162 million) and applicable interest thereon representing share of Vedanta Limited and its subsidiary. The Group had disputed the aforesaid demand and invoked arbitration as per the provisions of the Production Sharing Contract. The Group had received the Final Partial Award dated 22 August 2023 from the Arbitration Tribunal (‘the Tribunal') as amended by orders dated 15 November 2023 and 8 December 2023 (“the Award”), dismissing the Government’s contention of additional Profit Petroleum in relation to allocation of common development costs across Development Areas and certain other matters in accordance with terms of the Production Sharing Contract for Rajasthan Block, while allowing some aspects of the audit objections raised. Further, the Tribunal had decided that the Group was allowed to claim cost recovery of exploration cost as per terms of the Production Sharing Contract. Pursuant to the Award, the Group had recognized a benefit of Rs. 4,761 Crore (USD 578 million) in revenue from operations in financial year ended 31 March 2024. The Group has adjusted the profit petroleum liability against the aforesaid benefit. GoI filed interim relief application to the Tribunal on 3 February 2024 stating that the Group has unilaterally enforced the Award although the quantification of the same is pending. The Tribunal vide its order dated 29 April 2024 denied GoI's interim relief application. GoI filed an appeal before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court (“Section 37 Appeal”) challenging Tribunal’s order dated 29 April 2024. On 11 July 2025, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court dismissed GOI’s Section 37 Appeal in Group’s favour. GOI has filed a SLP before the Hon’ble Supreme Court challenging Hon’ble Delhi High Court’s order dated 11 July 2025. The matter is listed for hearing on maintainability of the SLP on 29 July 2026. Without prejudice to its rights under the proceedings, the Group has paid a sum of Rs. 513 Crore (USD 57 million) during the year ended 31 March 2026. In the interim, quantum proceedings have commenced. The Group has filed its claim for USD 512 million before the Tribunal and GOI, while disputing the claim of the Group’s, has filed a counter claim of USD 210 million to the Tribunal. As claim of USD 512 million is largely on account of disintegration of the Virtual Development Areas (“DAs”) (that were created on account of Office Memorandum 13 & Office Memorandum 19) into the main DA, managment believes Group has a good case on merits. GOI’s claim of USD 210 million is based largely on the argument that the Work Programme & Budget (“WP&B”) was not reviewed by GOI. It is Vedanta’s submission that the WP&B were submitted to DGH for review. Hearing in the matter concluded in March 2026. Arbitration award is awaited. GoI had also filed a challenge against the Award on 7 March 2024 in Delhi High Court (“Section 34 Application”). Notice has been issued in the matter. Till date, no stay has been granted on operation of the Award. Next date of hearing is 8 May 2026. The Group believes that the Court may not re-appreciate the evidence in Section 34 Application, as the interpretation by the Tribunal is plausible. 7 The Group’s Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the Cambay Block (CB-OS/2) expired on 29 June 2023. The Group, along with its joint venture partners, had submitted an application for extension of the PSC on 28 June 2021, under the Government of India’s 2017 Extension Policy. The Group received few temporary short-term extensions in the interim. The carrying value of Property, Plant and equipment/ Capital work-in progress and receivables from other joint venture partner in Cambay block is Rs. 470 Crores (USD 50 million). The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), vide its letter dated 19 September 2025, has not accepted the application for extension of the PSC, citing delays, procedural and contractual non-compliances. The Group has challenged the said letter before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court through a writ petition filed in September 2025, primarily on the grounds that the rejection is arbitrary and did not consider relevant factors under 2017 Extension policy. Pursuant to the Delhi High Court’s judgement dated 6 January 2026, notices have been issued in the matter and the parties have been directed to maintain status quo. Reply has been filed by the DGH and ONGC and Group has filed its rejoinder. DGH has also filed an application seeking vacation of the interim order. The matter is being heard. Based on provisions of PSC and its interpretation of 2017 extension policy, management believes that extension would be granted by MoPNG as the application for extension of the PSC was made in compliance with the timelines and criteria under the 2017 Extension Policy. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the Consolidated Financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026. 8 The Board of Directors, in its meeting held on 29 September 2023, had approved a Scheme of Arrangement (“the Original Scheme”) for demerger of various businesses of the Company, namely, demerger of the Company’s Aluminium (represented by the Aluminium segment), Merchant Power (represented by the Power segment), Oil & Gas (represented by the Oil and Gas segment), Base Metals (represented by the Copper and Zinc International segment) and Iron Ore & Steel (represented by Iron Ore segment and Steel and Cement business) Undertakings, resulting in 6 separate companies (including Vedanta Limited, being the demerged Company), with a mirrored shareholding and consequent listings at BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the Stock Exchanges). The Stock Exchanges gave their no-objection to the Scheme. A first motion application, in respect of the Original Scheme, was filed by demerged company (i.e., Vedanta Limited) and four resulting companies (i.e., Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited (“VAML”), Malco Energy Limited (“MEL”), Vedanta Base Metals Limited (“VBML”) and Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited (“VISL”)) before the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (“NCLT”) on 06 August 2024 (“VEDL First Motion’’). The Hon’ble NCLT by way of its order dated 21 November 2024 (“VEDL NCLT Order”) inter alia: a) directed the Company to convene a meeting of its equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured creditors within 90 days of the date of receipt of the Order; b) directed MEL to convene a meeting of its secured and unsecured creditors within 90 days of the date of receipt of the Order; c) dispensed with the meeting of equity shareholders of VAML, MEL, VBML and VISL; and d) dispensed with the meeting of secured and unsecured creditors of VAML, VBML and VISL. In December 2024, Vedanta Limited and other five resulting companies decided not to proceed with implementation of Part V of the Original Scheme, i.e., demerger of Base Metal undertaking into VBML, along with making appropriate updates to the Original Scheme (“Scheme”). The non-implementation of the demerger of the Base Metals undertaking shall not affect any other parts of the Original Scheme described above. In compliance with VEDL NCLT Order, the meetings were held on 18 February 2025 and the Scheme (with modification to exclude demerger of Base Metals Undertaking) was approved by the equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured creditors of the Company, as well as the secured and unsecured creditors of MEL. On 5 March 2025, Vedanta Limited along with VAML, MEL and VISL, filed a second motion petition before the Hon’ble NCLT inter alia seeking sanction of the Scheme. After multiple hearings with the Hon’ble NCLT, the Scheme was approved by the Hon’ble NCLT vide its order dated 16 December 2025. Further, a separate first motion application was filed by Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (“TSPL”), one of the resulting companies, with the Hon’ble NCLT, Mumbai on 22 October 2024 (“TSPL First Motion”) for demerger of Merchant Power Undertaking of the Company, since TSPL’s Registered Office (“RO”) was in the process of being changed from Mansa (Punjab) to Mumbai (Maharashtra) at the time of filing VEDL First Motion. The Hon’ble NCLT by way of its order dated 17 October 2025 inter alia directed (i) dispensation of the meeting of equity shareholders of TSPL; and (ii) TSPL to convene a meeting of its secured creditors and unsecured creditors within 90 days of the date of receipt of the order. The meetings were held on 21 November 2025, and the Scheme was approved by the secured creditors and unsecured creditors of TSPL. On 25 November 2025, TSPL filed a second motion petition before the Hon’ble NCLT inter alia seeking sanction of the Scheme. The Scheme was approved by the Hon’ble NCLT in TSPL’s second motion petition vide its order dated 9 January 2026. Consequently, the receipt of aforesaid NCLT approval, being one of the substantial approvals, meets the highly-probable criteria prescribed in Ind AS 105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for presentation of the Scheme as discontinued operations. Hence Aluminium, Oil and Gas, Iron Ore & Steel and Power undertakings have been disclosed as discontinued operation in Consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, all previous period figures in the Consolidated/standalone statement of profit and loss have also been re-presented/re-computed. The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 20 April 2026, has inter alia, approved the following: a) To make the Scheme effective on 1 May 2026; and b) In consultation with VAML, TSPL, MEL and VISL, the Board has fixed 1 May 2026, as the record date for determining the shareholders eligible to receive consideration pursuant to the Scheme. The impact of the demerger would be given on the date of effectiveness of the Scheme following the completion/ approval of all substantial conditions.
