The rally of Metal Stocks in 2026 is not based on any single news, but on strong global macro support. Metal prices are strong and possible rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve are giving bullish signals. The cooling trend in the US labor market has increased the possibility of lower interest rates, which has historically been positive for metals. In China, infrastructure, renewable energy, power grids and urban redevelopment are getting policy support, due to which the demand for steel, copper and aluminum has increased. Inventories in base metals are tight and supply constraints remain. EVs, renewable energy and AI are supporting long-term demand. Weak US dollar and lower real yields also make metals attractive. Overall, metals may remain on investors’ radar.

Vedanta Shares: A new company is going to be added to the portfolio of Vedanta Limited. In fact, the Kolkata Bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Wednesday approved Vedanta’s resolution plan for debt-ridden Incab Industries Ltd. This means that now Vedanta will have 100 percent ownership of this company. This company was stuck in IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) for the last six years.

How much will the deal cost?

NCLT said that Vedanta will give a financial package of Rs 545 crore to buy 100 percent stake in the paid-up equity shares of Incab Industries. Apart from this, Vedanta will also settle all sanctioned claims of Gratuity and Employee Provident Fund Organisation. With this decision of the Tribunal, shares of Vedanta Limited rose by 2 percent during trading on Thursday and its price reached a high level of Rs 542.

What will be the benefit to Vedanta?

Incab Industries manufactures products like power cables, industrial wires, fiber optic cables, in which copper and aluminum are used as main raw materials. With this acquisition, Vedanta will further strengthen its hold in the downstream copper and aluminum industry.

Vedanta told stock exchanges NSE and NSE, “Copper and aluminum are the main raw materials for manufacturing power cables and industrial wires, hence this acquisition will provide vertical and downstream synergy to Vedanta. Additionally, the Pune plant is just 300 km away from Vedanta’s Silvassa copper unit. This acquisition will help the group to grow in downstream copper and aluminum and expand in infrastructure and transmission.” Will get it.”

Incab has two big manufacturing plants in Jamshedpur and Pune. Both are currently closed. After purchasing the company, Vedanta can get it back operational, for which the company will have to invest capex and working capital in it. Vedanta’s production setup already includes units like copper rod, aluminum rod and wire mills, which are used extensively in various industries. Now with the addition of Incab Industries to the company’s portfolio, it will get direct entry into the downstream business. Entry will be available in power cable and transmission sector. This will give a boom to the infrastructure of the country.

In the race to acquire bankrupt infra company Jaypee Group, creditors unanimously voted in favor of Adani Enterprises’ proposal. While Anil Aggarwal’s Vedanta had made a higher bid, creditors preferred Adani’s plan due to better pre-payment terms. However, the NPV of Adani’s bid was about ₹500 crore less than Vedanta’s. Jaypee Associates has a total debt of ₹55,000 crore, and NARCL is its largest creditor. Initially, five companies had bid, but in the final e-auction, Adani seems to be coming out ahead and becoming the potential new owner. Jaypee Group’s portfolio includes Cement, Township, Power, Hospitality and the 1000-acre Sports City Project.

JAL Insolvency: The bankrupt company has finally been transferred to the name of Adani Group. Creditors of Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL) have selected Adani Enterprises as the buyer of JAL. According to an Economic Times (ET) report, JAL’s lenders ultimately chose Adani Enterprises because its upfront payment was higher, even though Adani’s net present value was about Rs 500 crore less than Vedanta’s Rs 17,000 crore bid during the electronic auction process.

Many other big names were involved in the race

Officials familiar with the matter said that Jaiprakash Associates’ creditors mostly included Indian banks, which supported Adani Enterprises’ takeover proposal of Rs 135 billion or $1.53 billion instead of Vedanta’s Rs 170 billion and considered it better than Vedanta’s bid. Apart from Adani and Vedanta, other bidders in the race were Dalmia Bharat, Jindal Power and PNC Infratech. An official said that controlling shareholder Manoj Gaur had also made a bid at the last moment, which was later withdrawn.

JAL’s largest lender

National Asset Reconstruction Company is the biggest lender to Jaiprakash Associates, which owes around Rs 55,000 crore and has been in insolvency since June last year. Bhuvan Madan of Deloitte is overseeing the process as JAL’s resolution professional. In this voting held on Tuesday, questions are being raised regarding the scoring method that how Adani came ahead in the race despite bidding less?

Many came forward to buy JAL

Earlier, five bidders had submitted plans to buy JAL, which included Adani, Vedanta, Dalmia Bharat, Jindal Power and PNC Infratech. Dalmia Bharat was initially at the forefront. Then it was told that the company did not participate in the e-auction later because the proposal was conditional.

Earlier this month, JAL promoter Manoj Gaur had also proposed a settlement of Rs 18,000 crore, but the lenders felt that he did not have proper proof of funding. Jayaprakash Associates, the flagship company of Jaypee Group, works in cement, power, engineering, hospitality, real estate and sports infrastructure, including a 1,000-hectare sports city in Greater Noida.

A major stumbling block in the insolvency process is the 1,000-hectare sports city, which is under legal scrutiny. Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) had canceled JP’s allotment in 2019, citing default of more than Rs 500 crore and lease violation. The CAG audit also revealed major irregularities in the allotment process.

Gautam Adani: Adani Group company Adani Enterprises Limited can become the highest bidder to buy the bankrupt company Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL). This is because Adani Enterprises has proposed to pay the purchase amount in two years, whereas Anil Aggarwal’s Vedanta has said to pay the entire amount in five years. Due to this, Adani Group is emerging as a top contender for the acquisition of the company.

Vedanta is at the forefront

Vedanta, a big mining company, had gone ahead in this race by making the highest bid in the beginning of September. In the auction held to find a buyer for JAL, Vedanta Group was leading the race by bidding Rs 12,505 crore. JAL’s business extends to real estate, cement, electricity, hotel and road sectors.

Adani Group gets highest score

Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited, Jindal Power Limited and PNC Infratech Limited, which were earlier in the race to buy JAL, did not participate in the auction. Later the lenders asked all the five companies to negotiate and increase the bidding amount. On October 14, all these companies submitted their resolution plans in a sealed envelope.

Last week, the Creditor Committee (COC) of JAL held a meeting and during this, it reviewed all the resolution plans on the basis of feasibility and then gave the highest marks to Adani Enterprise Limited. It was followed by Dalmia Cement (India) and then Vedanta Limited.

Voting again in the next two weeks

According to sources, now the CoC can conduct voting on the resolution plan in the next two weeks. The payment proposal in Dalmia’s case hinges on the pending decision of the Supreme Court between JAL and the Development Authority (YEIDA). That means there is no fixed timeline for payment. In contrast, Adani Group is offering back-ended payment in two years and Vedanta in five years.

Sources also say that last month, the previous promoters of JAL had also proposed to enter into an agreement with the lenders under 12A, but things did not work out as the source of the funds was not clear. Even before this, the promoters had challenged the auction process, but the court rejected it. Now it is expected that after evaluating all the plans and considering the interest of the stakeholders, the CoC may vote in favor of Adani Enterprises Limited for the revival of JAL.
