JFE Steel Invests Rs 78,750 Million for 25 Per Cent Stake in Kalinga Steel

Japan's JFE Steel Corporation has acquired a 25 per cent stake in JSW Kalinga Steel through an initial investment of Rs 78,750 million. The investment represents the first tranche under the joint venture agreement and has supported a reconstitution of the joint venture's shareholding. The development has kept JSW Steel's share price largely steady in trade.

JFE Steel is set to make an additional investment of Rs 78,750 million to acquire a further 25 per cent stake, which will increase its holding to 50 per cent in line with the joint venture agreement. Following the allotment and subsequent board changes, JSW Steel and JFE have established joint control over JSW Kalinga Steel and its wholly owned subsidiary JSW Sambalpur Steel. The companies have aligned governance arrangements under the terms agreed on 3 December 2025.

JSW Steel completed the transfer of the steel business undertaken by Bhushan Power and Steel to JSW Sambalpur Steel on 27 March through a slump sale on a going concern basis. The transfer had been approved earlier in December 2025 and forms part of an internal reorganisation of assets. The move is expected to consolidate operations under the Kalinga and Sambalpur structure.

The company has convened a board meeting on 14 May to consider the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March, with the Q4FY26 results scheduled for release on 31 May. In its Q3FY26 update the company reported a 198 per cent year on year increase in net profit and the highest ever consolidated sales of seven point six four million tonnes, up 14 per cent year on year. Crude steel production rose by six per cent and revenue from operations grew around 11 per cent to Rs 459,910 million. These operational metrics underpin the strategic partnership with JFE and the company's wider capacity and commercial plans.
