The acquisition is backed by major tailwinds in terms of a significant surge in steel prices and higher output, JSW Steel reported higher revenues in the third quarter of the year: Rs 19,329 crore of revenue and profit of Rs 2,829 crore in the October-December quarter. Its share is trading at Rs 410 apiece, giving it a total market valuation of Rs 99,420 crore. JSW is acquiring Bhushan Power for Rs 19,700 crore after BPSL was sent for debt resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). Bankers said several other companies are looking at the dollar bond route to raise funds before the financial year ends next month.

Like the rest of the industry, JSW is witnessing strong growth in the automotive sector, led by passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, and tractors. The recovery in residential real estate and continued traction in commercial real estate is also helping the industry.
