Vedanta has now reduced debt by a total of USD 3 billion since it announced in February 2022 its intention to accelerate deleveraging. It had announced plans to reduce debt by USD 4 billion within 3 years. "Vedanta has thereby achieved 75 per cent of its committed reduction in just 14 months," the firm said in a statement. The firm's gross debt now stands at USD 6.8 billion, down from USD 7.8 billion at the end of March 2023 and from USD 9.7 billion at the end of March 2022. "During the balance of FY24, we believe that strong operational performance from our world class asset base coupled with robust commodity prices will lead to further deleveraging at Vedanta," the statement said.

Vedanta Resources cuts gross debt by USD 1 billion

In a statement, the firm helmed by billionaire <keyword id="6354819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anil-agarwal" source="Orion">Anil Agarwal</keyword> said it "has paid all its maturing loans and bonds due in May and June 2023.. "As such, gross debt has further reduced to USD 6.4 billion, a USD 3.3 billion reduction since Vedanta announced its deleveraging ambition in March 2022," it said. CreditSights, a Fitch Group firm, had last week stated that it saw lower refinancing risk for Vedanta Resources Ltd's (VRL) near-term debt maturities on a new USD 850 million loan refinancing. "Looking ahead, while we estimate more funds need to be raised to fully fund VRL's estimated USD 2.1 billion of FY24 (April 2023 to March 2024 fiscal year) debt refinancing needs (USD 850 million covered, implying a gap of USD 1.25 billion), we think VRL still has multiple funding avenues to tap onto. These include share pledges and dividend upstreaming," it had said. The firm had last on April 24 stated that it had cut gross debt to USD 6.8 billion after repayments. "Vedanta is targeting further debt reduction during the balance of FY24, and ultimately intends to lower gross debt towards zero," the company statement said Wednesday. "This will be aided by our expectations of robust demand, particularly in India, coupled with strong operational performance from our world-class asset base.. Vedanta's gross debt as of today stands at USD 6.4 billion, down from USD 6.8 billion at the end of April 2023, USD 7.8 billion at the end of March 2023, and USD 9.7 billion at the end of March 2022. It however did not indicate a timeline for reaching zero gross debt. "We remain aware of refinancing risk on VRL's USD 4.1 billion debts due in FY24, for which VRL will likely have to rely heavily on external fundraising for a USD 2.1 billion refinancing and an additional USD 950 million to plug a funding gap. "At this point, we would still lean towards VRL being successful at tying up its USD 2.1 billion of fundraising, given VRL's track record of 'going to the brink and succeeding', recent debt reductions, recent fresh fundraising efforts and that we think various alternative funding channels remain open for VRL, despite the tighter bank funding conditions," CreditSight had said. These avenues include pledging of promoter stake in the main operating company Vedanta Ltd and further dividend upstreaming from operating companies. "We also think VRL's timely debt repayments thus far and recent refinancing progress could support lending sentiment," it had said. "We caution of execution risk: VRL's refinancing of the USD 1-1.25 billion loan is not finalised yet and a lack of progress, a failure of refinancing talks, or its inability to tie up the loan for late-FY24 pose downside risks to our recommendation."

Vedanta Resources pays $400 million debt, borrowings down to $6.4 billion

Mining conglomerate <keyword id="19919721" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vedanta" source="keywords">Vedanta</keyword> Ltd on Tuesday reported 36.5 per cent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 3,606 crore for June quarter FY25 due to improved margins and robust cost reduction across all operations. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 2,640 crore in the year-ago period. Income rose to Rs 36,698 crore over Rs 34,279 crore in the year-ago period, according to an exchange filing. Vedanta said in a statement that the proposed demerger of its businesses is on track and it has already filed the demerger scheme with NCLT after getting a nod from secured creditors. The company said that its board has approved a capex investment of USD 270 million for its oil and gas business. "The strategic priority for the Cairn Oil &amp; Gas business is to augment reserves and increase near term volume through infill wells and enhanced oil recovery. In order to deliver this, the Board has approved capex investment (net) of USD 270 million across fields in the Rajasthan block for drilling wells and construction of surface facility for ASP ( Alkaline Surfactant Polymer) injection," the company said in a separate filing. Vedanta Executive Director Arun Misra said that the company has delivered a strong start to the year, with exceptional EBITDA improvement of 47 per cent and PAT improvement by 54 per cent year-over-year on the back of improved margins, and robust cost reduction across all operations. "Our aluminium and zinc divisions continue to outperform industry benchmarks, consistently ranking in the top quartiles and deciles of the global cost curve. These achievements are a direct result of our strategic focus on cost, as reflected in a 20 per cent year-over-year reduction in overall cost," he said. The company's growth projects are well on track and it remains committed to commission the majority of these projects in FY25. "Moving ahead, our focus on operational efficiency, sustained expansion, and ESG excellence will guide our journey. With this dedication, we are confident in our ability to create substantial shareholder value in the year ahead," he added. Last month, the mining conglomerate raised Rs 8,500 crore (over USD 1 billion) through Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) of 19.31 crore equity shares at an issue price of Rs 440 per share. Company's CFO Ajay Goel said, "The overwhelming response to the Vedanta's... QIP...underscores investors' huge confidence. The proceeds from the QIP will be further instrumental in deleveraging the balance sheet and reduction of finance costs. We have received all the requisite approvals and have filed the demerger scheme with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) taking our demerger a step closer to reality." The company's gross debt stood at Rs 78,016 crore as on June 30, 2024. Vedanta Ltd, a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources Ltd, is one of the world's leading natural resources companies spanning across India, South Africa, Namibia, Liberia, the UAE, Korea, Taiwan and Japan with significant operations in oil and gas, zinc, lead, silver, copper, iron ore, steel, nickel, aluminium, power and glass substrate.

This comes after the company clarified that the proposed semiconductor manufacturing will be undertaken by the holding company, Volcan Investments and not the listed Vedanta. Volcan Investments is a holding company wholly owned by the Agarwal family trust, which is not listed on exchanges. Shares of Vedanta were on an uptrend in the last few days as investors were excited about the company's investment into semiconductor manufacturing. Besides, reports of Vedanta venturing into making Apple iPhones and electric vehicles added to the rally. “We reiterate that the proposed business of manufacturing semiconductors is not under Vedanta Limited and we understand that it will be undertaken by the ultimate holding company of Vedanta Limited, Volcan Investments Limited,” said the company in a BSE statement. Vedanta, an oil-to-metals conglomerate, and Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn have formed a joint venture to invest over ₹1.54 lakh crore to set up a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Gujarat. The proposed facility will come up over the next two years in Gujarat. Chairman <keyword id="6354819" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anil-agarwal" source="Orion">Anil Agarwal</keyword> shared the news on Twitter and said the investment of ₹1.54 lakh crore will be set up in Gujarat and “will help make India's #Atmanirbhar Silicon Valley a reality." <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Reports say huge investment in Gujarat comes ahead of key local elections. There is a political twist to it as well given some reports say Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde had invited the company to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to set up a facility in Talegaon near Pune city in Maharashtra. With this, India will enter the list of very few countries like Taiwan that are leaders in making such chips. The rating agency Moody’s says that Vedanta is not expected to be the financier in the proposed investment but in future if it does get involved, it will hurt its finances. “Volcan’s proposed $20 billion semiconductor project has no immediate impact on Vedanta Resources Limited’s credit profile. We do not expect Volcan to extract any cash from Vedanta to fund this investment. Any deviation from this expectation, such that Vedanta is used as a financing vehicle for Volcan, will weigh on the company’s weak liquidity profile and pressure its B2 negative corporate family rating,” said Kaustubh Chaubal, senior vice president at Moody’s Investors Service.

<ul><li>Hindalco Industries was the top performer with nearly 7% gains followed by Vedanta, NALCO, Tata Steel and SAIL which rose 4%-6%.</li><li>The Chinese government is considering raising $220 billion by selling special bonds to accelerate infrastructure funding and reviving the pandemic-hit economy.</li><li>The funds raised are for infrastructure spending.</li><li>Analysts say the development will boost Indian metal companies.</li></ul>Shares of metal companies surged in the last hour of trading on expectations of strong demand from China, the biggest commodity producer and consumer, after a report that the country was considering a $220- billion stimulus. The shares of Indian metal companies shot up right after Bloomberg reported that the Chinese government was considering raising $220 billion by selling special bonds to accelerate infrastructure funding and revive the pandemic-hit economy. These sales of bonds are likely in the second half of the year. The funds raised are to be used for accelerating the country’s infrastructure development that had taken a hit post the pandemic and the collapse of Evergrande. The demand for metal commodities like steel from China has been muted since <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/collapse-of-evergrande-may-haunt-tata-steel-jspl-nalco-and-other-metal-stocks/articleshow/86387294.cms">September 2021</a>, when Evergrande, the second-largest real estate developer in China, crumbled under the weight of its own debt. The Indian government’s 15% duty on steel exports have also been hurting the sector, crimping exports. This latest stimulus plan will revive demand for metals and is seen as a much needed booster for the Indian metal companies, which had ramped up exports to the country in recent times after Chinese companies shut down or underwent lockdowns. On Thursday, Aditya Birla Group firm Hindalco Industries, one of the biggest aluminium and copper manufacturers, was the top performer on the Nifty 50, ending almost 7 percent higher at ₹364.40 on Thursday. Steel makers Tata Steel and Jindal Steel ended up 5.6 percent and 5.4 percent respectively. The Nifty Metal index closed nearly 4% higher today. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid

the development in China is a much needed push for domestic metal companies. “Since there is news that China is coming out with a large stimulus of $220 billion, which could put a lot of strength in metals and commodities, which are trading at abysmal levels. Currently, there are many metals stocks which are trading below their value. China has acted like a real icing on the cake. We believe metals are very big value pitches, which need a right recipe for movement and that has just come,” Sanjiv Bhasin, director at IIFL Securities, told Business Insider India.
