Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vedanta dividend for this round is Rs 5 per share, a total payout of Rs 1,955 crore, compared with Rs 34 per share last year.

The stock was still up 3.38% on Friday morning, so the market has not treated the lower payout as a verdict on the business. Shareholders should read the company’s exchange filing for the record date and the reason behind the smaller figure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
