JFE is expected to invest another ₹7,875 crore for an additional 25% stake, which would bring its total ownership to 50%.
Joint Control Established
Following this equity allotment and necessary board appointments according to the joint venture terms, both JSW Steel and JFE Steel now share joint control over JSW Kalinga Steel. This shared oversight also extends to JSW Kalinga's wholly owned subsidiary, JSW Sambalpur Steel.
