Vedanta Limited has submitted its quarterly compliance certificate to stock exchanges, fulfilling mandatory regulatory requirements under SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018. The certificate covers the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and demonstrates the company's adherence to securities dematerialisation procedures.

Regulatory Compliance Filing

The certificate was issued under Regulation 74(5) of SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018, by KFin Technologies Limited, which serves as Vedanta's Registrar & Share Transfer Agent. The document was dated April 06, 2026, and subsequently filed with both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

Certificate Confirmations

The registrar verified that securities received from depository participants for dematerialisation during the quarter ended March 2026 were properly confirmed to the depositories. All securities comprised in the certificates have been listed on stock exchanges where the company's earlier issued securities are already listed.

The certificate also confirms that security certificates received for dematerialisation have been mutilated and cancelled after due verification by the depository participant. Additionally, the names of the depositories have been substituted in the register of members as the registered owner within the stipulated 15-day timeframe.
