Employee Stock Option Scheme 2016 is a conditional share plan for rewarding performance on pre-determined performance criteria and continued employment with
the Company1. The pre-determined performance criteria shall focus on rewarding employees for company performance vis-à-vis competition and also for
achievement of internal operational metrics. This document highlights the proposed scheme structure along with salient features of the plan for the consideration of Senior Management of Vedanta Ltd.



| | a. | Vesting: The number of options granted shall have both performance based and tenure based vesting component. The performance period for performance based option (TSR) will be a maximum of 36 months from the date
of approval of the scheme i.e., 28th Oct 2016 to 27th Oct 2019 and the performance period for tenure based option shall be 36 months from the date of grant i.e., 15th Dec 2016 to 15th Dec 2019.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the overall vesting basis TSR & Tenure will
be on completion of 36 months from the date of grant i.e., 15th Dec 2019. However, for an employee to be eligible for performance  based vesting, he/she should continue to be in employment
as on the date of vesting i.e., 15th Dec 2019.

The percentage of performance and tenure based grant shall vary by the management level.
The proposed bifurcation is as under:

|2. | Performance Condition
|-- | ---------------------

Performance conditions as proposed for the scheme:

Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR): It is proposed to have the Groups relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
performance against the peer group of resource companies and continued employment with the Group as conditions of performance







---

The vesting of ESOS options will be dependent on the Companys performance - measured in terms of Total
Shareholder Return (TSR) (being the movement in a companys share price plus reinvested dividends), compared over the performance period with the performance of the companies in Comparator basket given below.

The extent to which an award vests will depend on the Companys TSR performance against a group of peer companies (Comparator Group) at the
end of the performance period defined above.

In the event of de-listing of a particular comparator company during the performance measurement period, the
remuneration committee holds the right to either introduce a new company to the comparator group or modify the payout matrix based on ranking.

|--------------------- |  | ------------------------
