The report triggered panic among investors, leading to a 4.5% decline in the stock price by midday.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"844\">In its report, Viceroy claimed that Vedanta Resources resembles a Ponzi scheme, describing the group structure as &#8220;financially unsustainable&#8221; and &#8220;operationally compromised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"844\"><strong>Check This: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"844\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niftytrader.in\/stocks-price\/vedl\">Vedanta Stock Price\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"904\">Viceroy\u2019s Allegations Rattle Investor Sentiment<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"1160\">The report directly targeted the debt levels and financial practices of Vedanta\u2019s parent entity, sparking fears of deeper structural issues. Terms like &#8220;Ponzi scheme&#8221; used by Viceroy added to the alarm, leading to swift selling pressure in the stock.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1308\">As of 12:25 PM, Vedanta shares were trading at \u20b9435.6, down 4.5%, after hitting an intraday low of nearly 7% earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1373\">Hindustan Zinc Also Hit; Metal Stocks Under Pressure<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1553\">The impact of the report wasn\u2019t limited to Vedanta Ltd. Hindustan Zinc, another company under the Vedanta group, also saw its shares drop 2.6%, trading around \u20b9425.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1726\">This negative sentiment spilt over into the broader market as well.
