Why is Vedanta share price rising on 28 October 2026?
Vedanta Limited shares advanced 3.21% on October 28, 2026, closing at ₹232.85 after moving between an intraday low of ₹226.45 and a high of ₹233.60.
The broader market and metal sector faced mild selling pressure during the session, with the Nifty benchmark declining 0.22% and the Nifty Metal sector index slipping 0.32%. Vedanta's positive price action moved counter to this weak sectoral trend, reflecting stock-specific momentum following its quarterly financial disclosures and operational updates.
The move coincided with the company releasing its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, reporting a record quarterly Profit After Tax of ₹6,202 crore and EBITDA of ₹9,938 crore. While these strong financial figures provide fundamental context for investor sentiment, the positive price action also aligns with a technical recovery following a 20-day return decline of 10.10%.
1.12 crore shares traded by 28 October 2026 · 03:10 PM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 1.08 crore shares (1.04 times). The five-day average daily volume was 1.09 crore shares. Separately, the NSE report for 27 October 2026 showed 1.03 crore shares delivered, representing 71.96% of that day’s traded volume. The same report recorded 69,978 trades.
The 3.21% gain is well-supported by the release of record second-quarter financial results featuring significant jumps in revenue, EBITDA, and net profit alongside a sharp reduction in net debt. This positive catalyst helped the stock diverge positively from a weak broader metal sector and rebound from recent short-term weakness.
