Pledge/Unpledge

Vedanta's promoter group subsidiaries have repaid specific financing facilities totaling US$1.73 billion, leading to the release of encumbrances (pledges/liens) on 213.97 Cr shares of Vedanta Limited (VEDL). While these specific encumbrances are now cleared, the *same shares* remain encumbered under other existing financing agreements by the promoter group.

Therefore, the overall percentage of promoter shares encumbered in VEDL stays at 54.72% post this update.

For investors, this means that while certain debts are settled, the total level of encumbered promoter shares has not decreased.
