Vedanta Employees Gain Rs 2,500 Crore via ESOP

Vedanta, a big mining company in India, has a special program called ESOP where employees get to buy company shares at a very low price.

Over the last 5 years, this program has made employees a lot of money, about Rs 2,500 crore.

In 2025, the company gave shares worth Rs 500 crore to about 1,200 new employees.

The shares have been going up in value a lot, so employees who got them have made a lot of money.

For example, in the last year, the share price went up by almost 50%.

This has helped employees do big things like buy houses or cars.

The company says that about 40% of its workers are part of this program, and even new employees can get shares worth 30% of their salary over three years.
