Short-seller flags HZL ₹1.5K cr 'brand fee' payment to Vedanta
Business Standard
|July 11, 2025
One of the main allegations raised by US short-seller Viceroy Research against Hindustan Zinc (HZL) is around a payment of approximately ₹1,560 crore in "brand and strategic services" fees to its promoter, Vedanta Ltd.
The short-seller's report claims this payment lacked commercial justification, despite the presence of government-appointed directors on HZL's board.
The allegations also place the next move squarely in the Centre's court, raising questions around Vedanta's compliance with its contractual obligations and governance standards in managing a company where the Indian state remains a significant shareholder.
