No Silver Lining? Vedanta Share Price Falls As Silver Rates Crash; Post-Demerger Rebranding in Full Swing

Vedanta Share Price Today: Shares of Vedanta Limited fell on Wednesday, June 10, after a sharp crash in silver prices today weighed on the metal stock. The sell-off came as Vedanta owns Hindustan Zinc, one of India's largest and among the world's leading silver producers. This explains Vedanta's share price sensitivity to silver price movements.

In a separate development, Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta announced that Malco Energy, one of its demerged entities, has been renamed Vedanta Oil and Power as part of its post-demerger rebranding exercise.

Why Is Vedanta Share Price Falling Today?

Vedanta's share price decline on Wednesday coincided with a steep correction in silver rates. MCX silver rate (with July expiry) fell around 1.14% at Rs 2,35,800 per kilogram at 10 am on Wednesday, June 10. Apart from Silver, gold and base metals like zinc, lead and copper were also trading in red. MCX copper rate with the June expiry was down 0.23% at Rs 1,324.65. MCX Zinc and MCX Lead with June expiry were down 0.55% and 0.37% respectively.

"Weakness of Vedanta currently seems to be caused more by the effect of commodity dynamics as well as investors' caution rather than by the rebranding move announced by the firm. This can be explained by the recent decline in the price of silver, which has a direct impact on Vedanta, as the company has a substantial exposure in silver mining via its operations in zinc extraction," explained Siddharth Maurya, Founder & Managing Director, Vibhavangal Anukulakara Pvt. Ltd.

Vedanta Update On Demerger

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has approved the change in name of Vedanta subsidiary from Malco Energy Limited to Vedanta Oil and Gas Limited with effect from June 9, announced Vedanta on Tuesday.

"Accordingly, the name of the Company, hereby, stands changed to "Vedanta Oil and Gas Limited" with effect from June 09, 2026," read a BSE filing released by Vedanta on June 9.

Earlier, Vedanta had announced the rebranding of its power subsidiary, Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL) to Vedanta Power Limited. Additionally, its copper and nickel verticals were rebranded as Vedanta Copper and Vedanta Nickel.
