The financing involves a diverse group of international financial institutions. The current roster includes DB International (Asia) Limited, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mashreqbank PSC, National Development Bank PLC, and Standard Chartered Bank. Additionally, the agreement marks the entry of two new participants: Bank of Maharashtra IFSC Banking Unit and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Singapore Branch.

As part of the security arrangements, the company has agreed to a negative lien over shares held by its subsidiaries, representing 56.38% of the total share capital of Vedanta Limited. The agreement mandates that the VRL Group must retain control of the target company and maintain an ownership stake of at least 50.1%. The borrowed capital will be deployed toward repaying existing financial indebtedness, managing associated interest and fees, and addressing general corporate requirements for the group.
