Vedanta Ka Bada Split Plan
Chairman Anil Agarwal ne isko 'exciting new chapter' bola hai. Mota mota idea ye hai ki har business ko apna growth plan aur paisa manage karne ka mauka milega, jisse value unlock hogi. Waise bhi, Vedanta ka stock pichhle saal 80% tak bhaga hai aur record highs ke kareeb pahunch gaya hai.
Aggressive Growth Plans Ke Liye Taiyari
Ab dekho, is split ke saath bade growth plans jude hain. Aluminium ka production double karke 60 lakh tonnes per year karne ka target hai, jismein cost efficiency top par rahegi. Oil and gas mein $5 billion invest karke output 300,000-500,000 barrels daily tak pahunchane ka plan hai, taki India ki energy needs poori ho sakein. Power business ko 4.2 GW se 12 GW tak badhane ka aim hai. Aur Iron & Steel? Ye to 40 lakh tonnes se 150 lakh tonnes tak jaane wala hai!
Split Ke Baad Vedanta Kya Rakhegi?
Split ke baad bhi Vedanta Limited khudke paas Hindustan Zinc (HZL) mein 60% stake rakhegi, jo India ka sabse bada zinc producer hai. Saath hi Vedanta Zinc International (VZI), copper business aur ferro alloys division bhi Vedanta ke paas rahega. Aur toh aur, company India mein nickel metal aur cobalt sulphate banane wali akeli producer hai, jo EV batteries ke liye zaroori hain.
Debt Allocation Aur Valuation Ki Chinta
Sabse badi chinta abhi ye hai ki company ka jo heavy net debt hai, lagbhag ₹60,600 crore, woh kaise divide hoga. Kuch analysts darwa rahe hain ki agar debt galat tarike se divide hua toh stock price par pressure aa sakta hai, aur shayad ₹300-325 tak bhi gir jaye. Company ka debt-to-equity ratio bhi kaafi upar-neeche hota raha hai, jo dikhata hai ki finance kitne sensitive hain. Har nayi company ko apna debt manage karna hoga aur investors ko attract karna hoga.
Execution Risks Aur Market Volatility Ka Danger
Aur haan, itne saare bade expansion projects ek saath karna bhi ek bada execution risk hai. Aluminium mein global competition hai, oil & gas mein bhi. Company ka profit toh commodity prices par bhi depend karta hai – agar prices gir gaye toh fayda kam ho sakta hai. Aur yaad hai Tuticorin mein copper smelter ka issue? Woh bhi ek reminder hai ki company ko operational aur environmental challenges bhi face karne pad sakte hain.
Analysts Ka View Abhi Bhi Positive
Lekin risk hone ke bawajood, bahut se analysts abhi bhi positive hain. Majority ne 'Buy' rating di hai aur price target lagbhag ₹820-860 ke aas paas rakha hai. Unko lagta hai ki split se value unlock hogi, aur investors alag alag segments mein invest kar payenge. Ab dekhte hain, Vedanta debt manage kar pati hai, projects time par poore karti hai aur market mein kaise perform karti hai.
