In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, Vedanta Resources plc ('Vedanta') today notifies the market of the following:

As at 30 January 2015, Vedanta's issued share capital included 299,710,248 ordinary shares of US 10 cents each of which 268,598,437  carry voting rights in relation to all circumstances at general meetings of Vedanta. Vedanta currently holds 22,502,483 ordinary shares in treasury. As at 30 January 2015 , a further 1,704,333 shares, which had previously been purchased under Vedanta's Buyback Programme, were held by an independent company, Gorey Investments Limited (Gorey) and this company will not vote on these shares.  These shares purchased by Gorey will be treated in the consolidated accounts of Vedanta as treasury shares.

The remaining 6,904,995 ordinary shares of US 10 Cents each were issued on the conversion of certain convertible bonds issued by one of Vedanta's subsidiaries. These 6,904,995 ordinary shares are held through a global depositary receipt and, as a result, carry no voting rights.

During the month 82,817 ordinary shares of US 10 cents each were issued after Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) and Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) grants of options were exercised by employees. 

The above figure of 268,598,437 may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, Vedanta under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
