The latest update is out from Vedanta Limited ( (IN:VEDL) ).

Vedanta Limited’s board has approved several governance and capital-allocation changes alongside its latest annual results, including the appointment of M S K A & Associates LLP as statutory auditors for a five-year term, replacing S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP upon completion of their mandated tenure. The company also announced board changes, with independent director Pallavi Joshi Bakhru stepping down to avoid conflicts linked to Grant Thornton’s auditor roles within the group and the induction of former Reserve Bank of India executive director Meena Hemchandra as an additional independent director, strengthening oversight in risk, governance and financial-sector expertise.

In a move with direct implications for investor payouts, the board approved a revised dividend distribution policy effective from FY 2027, aligned with the ongoing demerger and designed to provide a more structured and transparent capital-allocation framework. The policy aims to balance sustainable shareholder returns with priorities such as deleveraging, long-term growth investment and financial resilience, signalling a shift towards more disciplined cash deployment as Vedanta reshapes its corporate structure and responds to evolving market conditions.
