Vedanta’s demerger plans may face hurdles from shareholders: Credit Sights report

Credit Sights, a Fitch Solutions Company, has warned that Vedanta Ltd's planned demerger of its businesses may face obstacles from minority shareholders and creditors. The demerger announcement was made in September 2023, but there have been few updates on its progress since then. Credit Sights believes the demerger could complicate Vedanta Resources Ltd's corporate structure and may not significantly address its debt obligations. It also highlighted potential challenges for Hindustan Zinc Ltd in obtaining the required shareholders' approval for the proposed demerger.

Hamas' cash-to-crypto global finance maze in Israel's sights
