Total Voting Rights

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 31 January 2014, Vedanta's issued share capital included 297,959,349 ordinary shares of US 10 cents each, of which 266,847,538 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 31 January 2014, 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, 136,394 ordinary shares of US 10 cents each were issued after Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) grants of options were exercised by employees and further 48,850 shares following conversion of USD 1.7 million of USD 1.25 billion 5.5 percent Guaranteed Convertible Bond 2016.

The above figure of 266,847,538 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.
