Billionaire Anil Agarwal plans to raise up to Rs 5000000000 via...
New Delhi: Anil Agarwal-led mining firm Vedanta Ltd on Friday, May 30 said the committee of directors has approved raising up to Rs 5,000 crore via issuance of debentures. The committee approved the issuance of 5 lakh unsecured, rated, listed, redeemable non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of face value of Rs 1 lakh each on a private placement basis, according to a regulatory filing by Vedanta.
'The duly authorised committee of directors at its meeting held today has considered and approved the issuance of unsecured, rated, listed, redeemable, non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis aggregating up to Rs 5,000 crore,' the company said in the filing.
In the January-March quarter, Vedanta reported a 154.4 per cent growth in its consolidated net profit to Rs 3,483 crore which was pushed by lower production costs and higher volumes. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 1,369 crore in the year-ago period.
During Q4 FY25, its income rose to Rs 41,216 crore from Rs 36,093 crore in the year-ago period. As on March 31, 2025, the company's gross debt stood at Rs 73,853 crore.
A top official of the company said that the demerger of its businesses is expected by the end of September this year. 'We are on track to finish (the demerger) by the second quarter end,' said Vedanta CFO Ajay Goel while talking to news agency PTI.
Vedanta Ltd is one of the world's leading natural resources, critical minerals, energy, and technology companies spanning across India, South Africa, Namibia, Liberia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan with significant operations in sectors like oil and gas, zinc, lead, silver, copper, iron ore and steel.
The appellate tribunal National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has stayed the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) orders against the demerger of the multinational mining company into separate entities and subsequent listing.
The Mumbai bench of NCLT had on March 4, 2025 rejected the first motion petition moved for the composite scheme of arrangement between Vedanta in the matter of Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd (TSPL), observing that 'material facts have not been disclosed' regarding its debt obligations, which was against the Companies Act.

HSRP mandatory for vehicle ownership transfer, says RTO
Nashik: Vehicle owners without high security registration plates (HSRP) may face restrictions in conducting Regional Transport Office (RTO) related activities, as the RTO has established HSRP registration as a prerequisite for certain services. For vehicles registered before April 2019, HSRPs have been made compulsory, with a compliance deadline of June 2025. The implementation in Nashik has received limited participation. "There are an estimated 10 lakh vehicles registered before April 2019. As of now, around 1.4 lakh vehicles registered for the HSRPs, out of which close to 1 lakh motorists have fixed them. The work of fixing these number plates is underway at the authorised centres spread across the 10 talukas in the jurisdiction of our office," said Rajashree Gund, the deputy RTO of Nashik. The online registration system has not garnered sufficient response. Consequently, the RTO has decided to withhold processing certain applications unless the vehicle owner has either installed HSRP or completed online registration. The RTO will not process applications regarding vehicle ownership transfer, RC address modifications, hypothecation-related matters, no objection certificates, or vehicle alterations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Rajashree Gund clarified that applicants with scheduled HSRP installation appointments can submit their appointment receipt alongside other documentation for application processing.

Lens on car dealer for selling SUV with loan
Kolkata: A local Bidhannagar car dealership is under investigation for allegedly selling a vehicle with undisclosed loan obligations, leading to its seizure by Barrackpore Police earlier this month. The incident came to light when cops from Baranagar Police contacted the buyer, informing him that the sport utility vehicle he purchased in Dec last year had an existing loan from a prominent finance company. According to the police complaint filed on Friday, the buyer paid approximately Rs 14 lakh for a 2022 model luxury SUV from a dealership in the eastern part of the city. The dealer allegedly assured the buyer of clear vehicle history and promised to complete ownership transfer within 20 days. The fraud was discovered when cops revealed that the vehicle was registered to another individual who took a loan from a leading automobile finance company. Due to default in loan repayment, the finance company filed a complaint, leading to the vehicle's seizure. "The dealer was fully aware of the vehicle's encumbered status but deliberately concealed this information,' said a senior cop involved in the investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 年最紓壓的農場遊戲！無需安裝 東加：島嶼農場 立即播放 Undo "This appears to be a clear case of intentional deception for financial gain."
