Vedanta's demerger plan may overshoot timeline

Experts have warned that Vedanta Ltd's plan to demerge its businesses may face delays due to lender scrutiny and the complexities involved in the proposed value-unlocking plan. The distribution of debt across the new entities will be a focus, as it could reduce cash flow fungibility. Approvals from the National Company Law Tribunal and the Indian government are also required, which could be challenging given the upcoming federal elections.
