said on Friday, referring to the short-seller's reports on the group over the past few days.
"Viceroy has a track record of taking short positions in listed companies and then publishing misleading reports to profit unlawfully from the resulting market impact," Chandrachud said in a report. ET has seen a copy of this report.
The Vedanta group had sought his opinion after the US-based short seller has published a series of reports against the group, terming Vedanta Resources a 'parasite' company, apart from pointing out several other alleged irregularities.

24 days, 20 dead, tanker still hangs: CM orders action, removal operation begins at Gambhira Bridge
Among the missing is Vikram Singh Padhiyar from Narsinghpura village, whose body remains untraced. Authorities also managed to retrieve 3 trucks and a motorcycle from the riverbed. The lone surviving vehicle, the tanker that now hangs mid-air has become symbolic of the government's inefficiency. Owned by Shivam Roadlines, a 12-year-old Ankleshwar-based company, the tanker has not only drawn nationwide attention but also deepened the woes of its owner. Ramashankar Indra Bahadur Pal, the owner of Shivam Roadlines, expressed helplessness over the bureaucratic delays. He told local media few days back, 'We've been running pillar to post, but officers from Anand blame Vadodara, and Vadodara blames Anand. One officer even joked that the truck will be retrieved only when a new bridge is built." Another official, he said, proposed bringing in the Army to airlift the tanker, but no action followed. 'We're sitting on a loan of Rs 45 lakh. If this continues, we're finished,' he added. Now, with the CM's intervention, a team of over 10 experts equipped with full safety gear has been deployed at the site On Friday. The entire responsibility has been entrusted to the Anand Collector, and drones are being used to ensure safe execution of the high-risk operation. Whether this move can salvage the state government's image remains to be seen, but for now, the bridge continues to stand as a grim reminder of lives lost, responsibilities delayed, and a tanker that just won't come down.

Experion to invest $300 mn in VLIV, expands women-only co-living spaces
Experion, a managed rental housing brand, has launched its first women-only co-living space, VLIV. The company plans to invest approximately $300 million (₹2,626 crore) to build a structured, service-led rental housing ecosystem in India. VLIV is a professionally managed co-living space offering 730 twin-sharing beds. The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based AT Capital Group, aims to scale to 20,000 beds over the next few years, with a long-term vision of reaching 100,000 beds nationwide. 'India's rental housing has long been fragmented and inconsistent. At Experion, we believe quality living must be built on accountability and long-term value. VLIV reflects that commitment not just by offering better residences, but a dependable, professionally managed platform. India's co-living sector is projected to grow from ₹4,000 crore in 2025 to ₹20,000 crore by 2030, with organised inventory expected to triple to nearly 1 million beds,' said B.K. Malagi, Vice Chairman, Experion. The project features amenities including biometric access, 24/7 security, wellness zones, and certified kitchens. 'Anyone who's lived, worked, or even travelled abroad knows what well-managed rental housing can look like. And within India, lifestyles and aspirations have evolved. Yet people are still navigating outdated, fragmented options or paying too much for too little. With VLIV, we are not chasing disruption through noise; we are quietly reimagining rental living by raising the bar on quality of life and delivering it with consistency, care, and safety built on solid compliance,' said Vivek Raj, Chief Operating Officer, VLIV.
