In September 2025, Vedanta received an intimation from the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas regarding application for extension of Production Sharing Contract of Block CB-OS/2. That time Vedanta said, ” It was intimated to us that the application for extension has not been accepted. We had also informed that that we were engaging with authorities and were evaluating all resources available to us to resolve the same.”
Accordingly, Vedanta clarified that a writ had been filed before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court challenging the decision of the Government. On January 6, 2026, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has issued notice to Government of India and other respondents requiring them to file a reply. The Court has further directed the parties to maintain status quo.
Vedanta reiterated that it will continue to comply with SEBI Listing Regulations and
keep the stock exchange(s) duly informed of all material information / events.

Vedanta Q3 Results Preview:
Vedanta is yet to declare its Q3 results date. However, analysts predict that the third quarter will be strong for the company.
Analysts at Emkay Global said, “We expect VEDL to report stronger Q3FY26 results, with EBITDA of Rs149.4 billion (up 28.7% QoQ and 32.4% YoY). The improved performance is likely to be driven by a sequentially strong performance in the company’s aluminium segment and continued robust performance from Zinc India, with EBITDA generation of Rs 49.2 billion and Rs44.1 billion, respectively, driven by higher average aluminium, zinc, and silver prices in Q3FY26, up 8.1%/11.7%/40.3% QoQ.”

The analysts at Emkay revised their target price to Rs 700 from earlier Rs 625 on expectation of stronger Q3. They have maintained BUY rating.
