Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal Welcomes UP Government’s Power Sector Reform

Mr. Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta Ltd., has lauded the Uttar Pradesh Government’s progressive move to privatize two state-run electricity distribution companies – Purvanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. (PuVVNL) and Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. (DVVNL).

Taking to his official handle on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Agarwal called the move a “very good step,” emphasizing that such reforms have historically led to improved outcomes in the power sector. “Wherever this has been done, better results have been achieved. This reduces electricity wastage and improves supply,” he wrote.

Mr. Agarwal further added that privatization helps ensure affordable and reliable electricity for consumers, reduces financial burden on the government, and improves the operational health of distribution companies.

“This reform is beneficial for all stakeholders, the government, the industry, and most importantly, the people,” he stated.

The power sector reforms in Uttar Pradesh have attracted significant interest from leading industry players, including Adani, Greenko, Tata, and Torrent Power, marking a notable shift towards efficient and sustainable electricity distribution.

Vedanta’s NCDs issue oversubscribed, Co. to repay high-cost loan saving ₹350 Cr annually

Chandigarh, June 07,2025: Mining Major Vedanta Ltd. plans to deploy funds from the ₹5000 crore raised through its unsecured non-convertible debenture (NCD) issue to pay-down a high-cost private credit facility of ₹3,400 crore, potentially reducing its annual interest burden by at least ₹350 crore, according to a person familiar with the matter. The remaining funds will likely be used for ongoing Capex requirements, general corporate purposes, and repayment or prepayment of existing debts, the person added.

The NCD offering, which closed on June 4, was oversubscribed with bids worth ₹6,555 crore, indicating a 60% oversubscription over its base issue size of ₹4100 crore. This prompted the company to exercise its greenshoe option of ₹900 crore, raising a total of ₹5000 crore.

The issuance attracted heavy demand from all categories of investors, including mutual funds, insurance companies, infrastructure finance companies, corporates, and NBFCs. Among the key investors who were ICICI Prudential MF, Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, Kotak Mahindra MF, HSBC MF, Axis MF, Star Health Insurance, Reliance Insurance, Aseem Infrastructure Finance, Alpha Alternatives and Larsen and Toubro among others, said the person quoted above, adding that the unsecured NCDs have a coupon rate of 9.31% for the 2.5 years series, 9.45% for the 3 year series and 8.95% for the 2 year series.

Vedanta cited strong earnings, free cash flows and ongoing growth projects, coupled with a strong balance sheet to its potential investors.

This is the second unsecured NCD issuance by the company in 2025. In Feb 2025, the company raised Rs 2,600 crore via unsecured non-convertible debentures at a 9.40-9.50 per cent coupon rate, attracting institutional investors, including ICICI Prudential, Kotak, Nippon, Aditya Birla Sun Life, and Axis.

The NCD issuance has received a rating of ‘AA’ from CRISIL, which has placed it on ‘Rating Watch with Developing Implications’. While doing so, the rating agency has cited expected improvement in Vedanta’s FY26 EBITDA, promoter’s commitment to deleveraging, material reduction in refinancing risk at Vedanta Resources, the company’s presence in diverse commodities, and the company’s financial flexibility.

The rating agency noted in its rationale that Vedanta’s EBITDA is expected to improve further in fiscal 2026, despite a moderation in prices by 5-10%, with expected completion of ongoing capital expenditure (capex) for capacity increase and operating efficiency improvement, especially in the aluminium business. “The expected increase in Ebitda will support the ongoing capex as well as scheduled debt repayment over the medium term,” the rating agency said.

CRISIL expects Vedanta’s strong asset base and multi-commodity presence to aid in growth.  “The company has strong asset base along with prudent capital allocation and is undertaking growth and efficiency improvement capex in multiple segments, especially in aluminium and zinc. This will further support margin profile and Ebitda levels over the medium term. The expected increase in annual Ebitda will support increased cash accrual necessary to support ongoing capex and debt reduction. Given the volatile nature of commodity prices, sustenance of continued ramp up in Ebitda to expected annual levels will be a key rating sensitivity factor,” the rating agency had said in its report.

Ultrahuman Home: The Future of Healthy Living is here

London, UK, June 07th, 2025: Ultrahuman today announced the public launch of Ultrahuman Home, a groundbreaking home health monitoring device that redefines how we experience and optimize our living spaces. Available now on Ultrahuman.com, Ultrahuman Home delivers continuous, real-time insights into environmental health, empowering users to create homes that actively support their well-being.

Reimagining Indoor Health

Homes are the most important spaces where we spend the most time. Yet, the impact of indoor air quality, temperature, humidity, noise, and light on our health has long been underestimated. Ultrahuman Home is designed to bridge this gap, offering comprehensive data and interventions that create an environment that aligns with our bodies.

Ultrahuman Home’s advanced environmental sensing systems continuously measure key indoor parameters. Its precision aero-flow design promotes accurate detection of fine particulate matter, from PM 1 to PM 2.5 and PM 10, which are linked to respiratory and cardiovascular risks when present in elevated levels. Chemical pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde (HCHO), are also tracked to ensure a healthier breathing environment.

In addition, Ultrahuman Home monitors carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Elevated CO levels can impair oxygen delivery to tissues, while high CO2 concentrations can compromise cognitive function and sleep quality. Ultrahuman Home provides real-time data to help users maintain safe and optimal levels of these critical air markers.

“Ultrahuman Home is our step towards integrating environmental awareness into personal health. By continuously monitoring factors like air quality, light, and noise, we’re enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their living spaces, leading to improved well-being and recovery.” said Mohit Kumar, Founder and CEO, Ultrahuman.

UltraSync: The Fusion of Internal and External Health

When paired with the Ultrahuman Ring, Ultrahuman Home unlocks deeper insights through UltraSync technology. This integrated system correlates environmental markers with physiological data, such as heart rate variability (HRV), sleep stages, and recovery patterns, to reveal how surroundings shape our health.

For example, UltraSync can detect spikes in noise or light levels during the night and directly link them to awakenings or sleep disruptions, providing a clear, actionable picture of the relationship between the environment and the user’s sleep quality.

Precision Environmental Comfort

Beyond air quality, Ultrahuman Home addresses thermal comfort and noise, key factors for restorative sleep and cognitive performance. It continuously tracks temperature and humidity, enabling users to fine-tune their indoor climate for balanced comfort and healthier airways.

Noise, an often-overlooked contributor to stress and sleep disturbances, is monitored to create quieter, more restful environments, essential for the body’s natural recovery processes.

Light and Circadian Health

Light is a fundamental regulator of our circadian rhythms, mood, and hormonal balance. Ultrahuman Home measures blue, red, green, and infrared light exposure, enabling the user to align home lighting with their body’s natural rhythm. Blue light monitoring helps mitigate its impact on melatonin suppression, supporting healthier sleep patterns. The device also tracks UVA, UVB, and UVC levels to balance the benefits of light, like Vitamin D synthesis and mood, while minimizing potential harm from overexposure.

Engineered for Every Home

Ultrahuman Home combines advanced engineering with a minimalistic aesthetic, designed to blend seamlessly into any living space. It features a physical microphone cut-off control for instant privacy, and an airplane mode.

No Subscription

Ultrahuman Home is available today on Ultrahuman.com for USD $549. There are no recurring subscriptions; data and insights are with the user, always.
