**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Shares of Vedanta Ltd., the Anil Agarwal-owned metal and mining company, reached a record high of Rs 527 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) today, boosting its market capitalization to Rs 2.04 lakh crore. This surge comes ahead of a crucial board meeting scheduled for December 16th, where the company will consider its fourth interim dividend for the fiscal year 2024-25.

The meeting, originally planned for October, was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Today’s trading saw high activity, with 1.37 lakh shares changing hands, generating a turnover of Rs 7.21 crore. While the stock’s performance reflects investor optimism, analysts note a high volatility (beta of 1.3) and an overbought RSI of 74.2, suggesting potential risks.

Vedanta has already declared three interim dividends this fiscal year, totaling Rs 35 per share (Rs 11, Rs 4, and Rs 20). The record date for determining eligibility for the potential fourth dividend is set for December 24th, 2024. The size of the fourth interim dividend remains to be seen.
