India’s Vedanta is planning to raise ₹3,000 crore through a new bond sale, making its second debt market fundraising exercise in the current fiscal year. The metals-to-oil conglomerate is expected to issue short-term bonds before the end of March to meet its financing and restructuring needs. According to sources familiar with the matter, Vedanta is likely to offer bonds with maturities of 2 or 3 years, or a mix of both. The company has already begun discussions with investors, including mutual funds, and the fundraising process is expected to accelerate after receiving board approval. The bond sale is likely to be completed in the first half of March.
This will be Vedanta’s second bond issuance in the current financial year. In June 2025, the company raised ₹5,000 crore through a combination of two-year bonds, 30-month securities, and three-year bonds. The latest fundraising reflects Vedanta’s continued efforts to strengthen its financial position and manage its capital requirements. The fundraising comes at a crucial time as Vedanta moves forward with a major corporate restructuring plan. The company intends to demerge its businesses into separate listed entities, including steel and ferrous metals, oil and gas, aluminium, and power. Its base metals division will remain with the parent company. The restructuring aims to unlock value, improve operational efficiency, and allow each business unit to operate independently.

Vedanta’s Chief Financial Officer, Ajay Goel, recently stated that the company plans to list the newly separated entities on Indian stock exchanges by mid-May 2026. The restructuring and fundraising efforts are part of Vedant’s broader strategy to streamline operations, improve financial flexibility, and strengthen investor confidence. Overall, Vedanta’s planned bond issuance underscores its ongoing efforts to secure funding, support restructuring initiatives, and maintain financial stability as it prepares for a significant corporate transformation.
