The apex court's sharp criticism of the Centre over a 22-year-old Ravva oilfield dispute highlights how state-led litigation and enforcement delays continue to undermine India's global arbitration ambitions.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +3.2% on the day at ₹245.51, and has returned -7.1% over three months. It sits 31% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The metals & mining sector has moved -9.5% over the same period, so Vedanta is running 2.4 points ahead of its peers.
For Vedanta, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
