Vedanta Limited’s share price slipped to ₹597.45 on NSE, down nearly 4% (₹24.75) from its previous close of ₹622.20. The fall comes just a day after the stock touched a fresh 52-week high of ₹629.90 on January 7, 2026, surprising even top brokerages that had already raised their targets.
Despite the dip, market experts say this move looks more like healthy profit booking after a strong rally rather than a trend reversal.
During the session, Vedanta traded between a high of ₹619.10 and a low of ₹595.00, with over 10 million shares changing hands. The company’s market capitalisation currently stands at around ₹2.33 lakh crore, keeping it firmly among India’s heavyweight metal stocks.
🔥 What Fueled Vedanta’s Recent Rally?
Over the past year, Vedanta shares have surged nearly 39%, driven by multiple powerful triggers:
Strong expectations from Q3 FY26 results
Progress on Vedanta’s big demerger plan, splitting the company into five independent metal-focused entities
Rising optimism in the non-ferrous metals sector
Even during broader market corrections on January 6–7, Vedanta managed to hit record levels. Technical indicators showed the stock entering an overbought zone, with the RSI at 78.6, which often leads to short-term cooling.
📊 Brokerages Stay Bullish Despite Volatility
Brokerage firm Nuvama maintains a positive outlook with a target price of ₹686. The optimism is backed by expectations of:
16% EBITDA CAGR through FY28
Lower aluminum production costs
Higher volumes in aluminum and zinc
Supportive global commodity prices
