The statutory auditors have caried out a limited review on these results and issued an unmodified conclusion. 2 These results have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The figures for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 are the balancing figures between audited figures for the full financial year ended 31 March 2026 and unaudited figures for the nine months ended 31 December 2025. 3 Net exceptional (loss)/gain : (Rs. in Crore) Particulars Year ended 30.06.2026 (Unaudited) 31.03.2026 (Audited) (Refer Note 2) 30.06.2025 (Unaudited) 31.03.2026 (Audited) Continuing Operations: Impact of state levies: Zinc - - - 56 Statutory impact of new Labour Codes - - - (36) Net exceptional gain - - - 20 Current tax (expense) on above - - - (6) Net deferred tax benefit on above - - - 1 Net exceptional gain (net of tax) from continuing operations (A): - - - 15 Discontinued Operations: Property, plant and equipment (PPE), capital work-in-progress (CWIP) and other assets written back/ (written off) or (impaired)/ reversed: - Aluminium - (349) - (349) - Iron Ore - (1,471) - (1,471) Power Segment: - Trade receivables written off - - - (1,407) - Late Payment Surcharge - - - (215) - Capital creditor settlement - - - (660) Statutory impact of new Labour Codes - - - (96) Net exceptional (loss) - (1,820) - (4,198) Current tax benefit on above - 88 - 88 Net deferred tax benefit on above - - - 598 Net exceptional (loss) (net of tax) from discontinuing operations (B): - (1,732) - (3,512) Less: Non-controlling interests on above (C) - - - 5 Net exceptional (loss), net of tax and non-controlling interests (A+B+C) - (1,732) - (3,502) 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. 4 The Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, vide its Order dated 16 December 2025 and 9 January 2026, approved the Scheme of Arrangement inter-alia amongst Vedanta Limited, the resulting companies (i.e., Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited (“VAML”), Vedanta Oil And Gas Limited (formerly known as Malco Energy Limited) (“VOGL”), Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited (“VISL”) and Vedanta Power Limited (formerly known as Talwandi Sabo Power Limited)) (“VPL”), their respective shareholders and creditors under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (Scheme), providing for the demerger of Vedanta Limited’s Aluminium (represented by the Aluminium segment), Oil & Gas (represented by the Oil and Gas segment), Iron Ore (represented by Iron Ore segment) and Merchant Power (represented by the Power segment) undertakings into VAML, VOGL, VISL and VPL respectively, on a going concern basis. 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 and Power undertakings have been disclosed as discontinued operations in standalone financial results. Accordingly, all previous period figures have also been re-presented/re-computed, where required. The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 20 April 2026, has inter alia, approved 1 May 2026 as effective date and appointed date of the Scheme. The management has accounted for the demerger w.e.f. 1 May 2026, in accordance with the accounting treatment prescribed under the sanctioned Scheme as a common control transaction, whereby the assets and liabilities were transferred to the Resulting Companies at their respective book values without any gain/loss. Accordingly, the results of the Discontinued Operation pertain only to the period from 1 April 2026 to 30 April 2026. Therefore, the figures for the current period are not comparable with those of the previous/ corresponding periods. Also, as required by the Scheme, all rights, obligations and contingent liabilities (including proceedings before judicial and regulatory authorities) have also been transferred to respective Resulting Company from the Effective Date. Consequently, financial impact of outcome of such proceedings after the Effective Date is not required to be recognised in these results.

Subsequent to the quarter ended 30 June 2026, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has provided its no-objection/approval on 24 July 2026 in relation to the assignment of participating interests and operatorship pertaining to the oil and gas blocks transferred to VOGL. In accordance with Clause 34 of the Scheme, pending receipt of the consent of the MoPNG for the transfer of participating interests under the relevant production sharing contracts and revenue sharing contracts, VEDL held the relevant letters of intent, participating interests, production sharing contracts, revenue sharing contracts and joint operating agreements together with related assets, rights, interests, liabilities and obligations, both present and future, and conducted the related business and operations, in trust for and on behalf of VOGL from the Appointed Date. Nonetheless, the economic interest and obligations in such arrangements vested in VOGL from the Appointed Date. Accordingly, the financial results and operations of Cairn for the period from 1 April 2026 to 30 April 2026 are included in these results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 8 (a) During the previous financial year, a short seller had published reports alleging certain matters against some of the Vedanta Group entities including the Company. Based on management assessment, legal advice obtained and involvement of external experts management continues to believe, that these allegations are baseless and the related transactions have appropriate commercial substance, duly approved through necessary processes and that the Group remains compliant with contractual obligations and applicable laws and regulations. Accordingly, no adjustments were considered necessary in consolidated financial results of the Group. Information sought by regulators/authorities have been duly provided by the Group. In relation to one of the Subsidiary, Hindustan Zinc Limited, during the current quarter, SEBI communicated its observations on related party transactions. These observations pertained to approvals and disclosure aspects and did not result in any financial penalty, restriction, or sanction on the Subsidiary. In accordance with SEBI’s directions, corrective measures have been taken and presented to the Audit & Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary. The Committee and the Board of the Subsidiary have reviewed these measures and expressed satisfaction with the actions taken to address SEBI’s observations. (b) Further, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a search and seizure operation under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, at the premises of the Company and one of its subsidiary from 1 June 2026 to 3 June 2026.
