JFE Steel Invests Rs 78,750 mn for 25 per cent Stake in Kalinga Steel

01 Apr 2026 CW Team

JSW Steel completed the transfer of the steel business undertaken by Bhushan Power and Steel to its subsidiary JSW Sambalpur Steel via a slump sale on a going concern basis, with the transfer executed on 27 March 2026 and approved earlier in December 2025. The company said that the transfer formed part of the reorganisation envisaged under the joint venture framework and that the allotment triggered the agreed governance changes. The consolidation is expected to streamline operations and integrate assets under the Sambalpur platform.

A board meeting has been convened for 14 May 2026 to consider the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March, while the Q4FY26 results are scheduled for release on 31 May. In Q3FY26 the company reported a 198 per cent year-on-year jump in net profit and its highest-ever consolidated sales of seven point six four mn t, up 14 per cent year-on-year. Crude steel production rose six per cent and revenue from operations grew around 11 per cent year-on-year to Rs 459,910 mn.

Market reaction was muted as JSW Steel shares remained broadly steady following the allotment, with the stock recording mixed short-term movement. Observers noted that the staggered investment approach and joint control arrangement were aimed at aligning technical collaboration and capacity expansion plans between the two partners. The transaction is likely to influence investment and operational strategy across the Kalinga and Sambalpur facilities.
