Shares of Vedanta Ltd will be in focus this week after the company announced that its board will meet on Thursday, August 21, 2025, to consider and approve a second interim dividend for FY2025-26.

The company has also fixed Wednesday, August 27, 2025, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for the proposed dividend. If approved, this will mark Vedanta’s second interim payout for the ongoing financial year.

In line with SEBI’s insider trading regulations, Vedanta said the trading window will remain closed from August 19 to August 23, 2025, for all designated persons and insiders.

Analysts note that Vedanta has historically maintained a high dividend payout policy, making it a preferred stock for yield-seeking investors. The upcoming decision could reinforce its track record of strong shareholder returns, supported by robust cash flows from its metals and mining businesses.
