Vedanta demerger record date is May 1, but why is today the last date to buy?

Vedanta’s demerger record date is May 1, a market holiday, making April 29 the last day to buy shares for eligibility. Shareholders will receive one share each of Vedanta Aluminium Metal, Talwandi Sabo Power, Malco Energy, and Vedanta Iron and Steel for every Vedanta share held. This restructuring aims to unlock significant shareholder value by creating distinct, sector-specific entities.
