Global macroeconomic challenges to shape turnaround of JSW Steel and Bhushan Power & Steel
The Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group is foraying into the lending space with an investment of up to Rs 400 crore in a captive non-bank lender housed in its e-commerce arm, a senior official has said. The non-bank finance company (NBFC) will be a subsidiary of the JSW One Platforms (JSWOP) and will be doing purchase finance for buyers on the newly started e-commerce arm, Gaurav Sachdeva, the chief executive of JSWOP, told PTI in a recent interaction. Eventually, the NBFC can help out other companies in group like cements, steel or paints by offering financing solutions, Sachdeva, who has worked in the financial services space earlier, said. Sachdeva said at present, the micro, small and medium enterprises which form JSWOP's clientele are not served by the banking sector as well as they should be, and hence, the USD 22 billion JSW Group felt a need to enter the space. He said JSWOP will invest around Rs 350-400 crore in the NBFC over the next two years, and the same is a part of an overa

JSW Energy on Thursday said its net profit jumped 179 per cent to Rs 560 crore in the June quarter, mainly on the back of higher revenues. "Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at Rs 560 crore, which was 179 per cent higher YoY (year on year) compared to a PAT of Rs 201 crore in the corresponding period of previous year (April-June 2021)," a company statement said. During the quarter, total revenue increased by 68 per cent YoY to Rs 3,115 crore from Rs 1,860 crore in first quarter of FY22. The increase is primarily attributable to higher contribution from short-term sales, solar capacity addition at Vijayanagar and 45MW uprating at Karcham Wangtoo, it stated. Underlying finance cost during the quarter decreased by 2.5 per cent YoY to Rs 193 crore on the back of 18 bps (basis points) reduction in the weighted average cost of debt partially offset by increase in gross debt, it explained. The consolidated net worth and consolidated net debt as on June 30, 2022 were Rs 16,638 crore and Rs 7,7
JSW Steel is undertaking various initiatives to reduce carbon footprint in line with India's net zero ambitions, its Chairman Sajjan Jindal said on Wednesday. According to the industrialist, his company has already earmarked a sum of Rs 10,000 crore to increase the use of renewable energy to replace thermal power and other green initiatives. "We are undertaking a host of initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, aligned with India's net zero ambitions and are envisaging an investment of Rs 10,000 crore towards this. One such initiative is to increase the use of renewable power in our operations," Jindal said, addressing the shareholders at the company's 28th Annual General Meeting (AGM). JSW Steel contracted for 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy, of which 225 MW has become operational in April 2022, and the balance will come on stream in phases, he noted.

Moody's Investors Service on Monday said it has upgraded the JSW Steel Ltd's Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to Ba1 from Ba2. At the same time, Moody's has changed the ratings outlook on JSW Steel Ltd and Periama Holdings LLC to 'stable' from 'positive'. "The upgrade reflects JSW's continued strong operating performance and consistently strong credit metrics while maintaining good liquidity," Kaustubh Chaubal, a Moody's senior vice president said. Ba1 rating means obligations are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk. Moody's has also upgraded to Ba1 from Ba2 JSW's senior unsecured notes rating, the guaranteed backed senior unsecured rating on Periama Holdings LLC and the USD 40-million guaranteed senior unsecured revenue bonds issued by Jefferson County Port Authority. In Moody's view, JSW's substantially stronger operating performance will help sustain its deleveraging. The upgrade also reflects the successful commissioning of the company
The fate of JSW Steel's businesses in Italy largely depends on contracts from Italian railway authorities, failing which it will look at other alternatives, a top official said. JSW Steel has so far failed to revive the company it acquired in 2018, and rising raw material cost and geo-political issues, including the Russia-Ukraine crisis, has not helped matters either. The losses have reduced. The loss is majorly attributed to rail orders that are not sustainable. We are striving for more rail orders. If those come, it's fine, otherwise some alternatives have to be thought of, JSW Steel Joint MD & Group CFO Seshagiri Rao told PTI. Revenue of the Italian facility in Piombino improved to euro 309 million during 2021-22 from euro 249 million earlier, while the operating loss narrowed to euro 6.4 million in the fiscal under review from euro 22.6 million a year ago.
