The Ministry of Labour & Employment has published draft Central Rules and FAQs to facilitate assessment of financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Group has assessed and accounted for the incremental impact of these changes with the best information available, and guidance from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, considering the impact is non-recurring in nature and is driven by regulatory changes, the incremental impact of Rs. 26 crore has been disclosed as Statutory impact of new Labour Codes under Exceptional Items in the audited consolidated financial results for the year ended 31st March 2026. 8 The Group's Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the Cambay Block (CB-OS/2) expired on 29th June 2023. Prior to expiry, the Group and its joint venture partners had applied for extension of the PSC on 28th June 2021 under the Government of India's 2017 Extension Policy. Subsequently, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), vide its letter dated 19th September 2025, declined the Group's application for extension of the PSC and directed handover of operations of the block to ONGC. The Group challenged the said decision before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court through a writ petition. During the proceedings, interim relief was granted on 06th June 2026, and status quo was directed to be maintained. However, vide order dated 22nd July 2026, the Single Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court upheld the Government's decision in line with the aforesaid communication. Considering the recent judicial developments, the absence of a valid PSC and the resulting uncertainty regarding recoverability of assets and receivables relating to the block, the Group reassessed the carrying value of the related balances. Accordingly, the Group has recognised an impairment charge of approximately Rs. 379 Crore during the period. The matter remains subject to further legal remedies and regulatory developments. Management has recognised the impairment charge based on facts and circumstances and the best information available as at the reporting date. The ultimate outcome of the litigation and its consequential impact, if any, cannot presently be determined. 9 Pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement (“Scheme”), the Oil & Gas business undertaking of Vedanta Limited (“VEDL” or “Demerged Undertaking”) held within VEDL as well as its direct subsidiary (Cairn Energy Hydrocarbons Limited - “CEHL”) (together referred as “Cairn”), was demerged into Vedanta Oil & Gas Limited (“VOGL” or the “Group”) as a going concern with effect from 1st May 2026 (the 'Appointed Date”), as further detailed in Note 3. Subsequent to the quarter ended 30th June 2026, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has accorded its approval for the aforesaid demerger on 24th July 2026.
