Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL) on Tuesday said it will sell its 96.42 per cent stake in electricity-generation subsidiary Jindal Power Ltd for ₹3,015 crores.

The approximate enterprise value for the deal is ₹12,000 crore, according to sources, out of which ₹4,400 crore has been balanced against outstanding debt which the power subsidiary had taken from JSPL. Redeemable preference shares make up another ₹7,000 crore.
“The divestment is in line with JSPL’s strategic objective to continuously reduce its debt, focus on its India Steel business and significantly reduce its carbon footprint by almost half as part of its ESG objectives,” JSPL said in a statement.
