On Wednesday, 3.5 crore shares of Vedanta Power changed hands, a stark contrast to its 20‑day average of 42 lakh shares.
Vedanta Oil & Gas saw 2.1 crore shares traded, triple its 70‑lakh average, while Vedanta Iron & Steel moved 1.75 crore shares, eclipsing the 95‑lakh benchmark.
All three stocks emerged as top gainers on the Nifty 500 index, with Vedanta Power’s 12% rally breaking a five‑day downtrend, Vedanta Oil & Gas achieving its fourth straight gain, and Vedanta Iron & Steel ending a two‑day slump.
The surge follows the demerger of the Vedanta Group’s four entities, which began trading earlier this year; analysts note that the lack of coverage on the three stocks may leave pricing gaps as investors assess the impact of the split. Investors will monitor the upcoming earnings reports slated for the third quarter to gauge whether the momentum can be sustained.
