Vedanta promoters have been continuously making efforts to increase their stake in the company. However, investors have shown a dull response, be it open offer or delisting offer of shares.

The stock has been seeing a huge bull rally lately. Vedanta, which is a major metal company in the sector, is into the business of aluminium, zinc, copper, steel, iron ore and overall, it has very well diversified its business in the metal space.

Besides, Vedanta also holds around 65 per cent stake in Hindustan Zinc, which is a cash-rich company. Hind Zinc is known for giving huge dividends to the investors and experts predict that there is going to be a huge upside in this metal stock.

Moreover, with 27 per cent recovery in the crude oil, Cairn Oil & Gas vertical of Vedanta can also see an improvement in the earnings.

Despite the huge rally in benchmark indices and broader markets, Vedanta shares are 53 per cent down from its all-time high of Rs 495 apiece.

Life Insurance Corporation, one of the biggest investors in the equity market, had also valued this company's stock at around Rs 320 per share. 

Vedanta share price jumped today by around one and half per cent to close at Rs 237 per share.
