Vedanta confirmed that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has denied its application to extend the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for Block CB-OS/2 in the Cambay Basin. The company received intimation of this denial on September 19, 2025. Vedanta stated that this development did not cross the materiality threshold under SEBI's Listing Regulations, which is why it was not disclosed earlier. The company is now engaging with relevant authorities and exploring all available options to resolve the issue. NSE had sought clarification on a media report regarding the same.
Negative news for Vedanta as the loss of the Cambay Basin oil block extension could impact its upstream oil and gas operations. However, the company's stance that this is not material may limit immediate stock impact, though investors should watch for further developments as the company engages with authorities.
