Involvement in Insolvency Processes
Aspect | Details | Financial/Quantitative Data | Source |
Role in Resolution Process | JSPL, via its group company involvement, acted as a Resolution Applicant (RA) in the Pipavav Shipyard/RNaval insolvency process. | In the process, claims exceeding Rs43,587 crore from several creditors were noted. | |
Allegations on Managerial Oversight | During the CIRP, resolution professionals did not disclose that key executives (e.g. Nikhil Merchant) held positions in entities flagged as wilful defaulters. | Highlighted issues included non-disclosure of board roles in ineligible companies and failure to order forensic audits (covering alleged siphoning of funds by promoters). |
Credit Rating and Default Risk
Incident | Year/Period | Details | Source |
Credit Rating Downgrade | Reported 2016 | CRISIL downgraded JSPL to a default rating indicating potential financial stress, although no bankruptcy filing by JSPL is noted. |
Related Financial Indicators from Annual Reports
Category | Details and Trends | Financial Data (FY12 examples) | Source |
Promoter Related Transactions | Increase in short-term loans and receivables to promoter group companies as noted in annual disclosures. | Short-term loans & advances increased from INR15.4bn in FY11 to INR24.6bn in FY12; receivables from promoter group companies increased from INR0.5bn in FY11 to INR1.2bn in FY12. |
Summary of Findings
Finding | Explanation |
No Direct Bankruptcy | JSPL has not filed for bankruptcy nor has it been declared insolvent. |
Insolvency Process Involvement | JSPL is involved indirectly as a resolution applicant in the insolvency process (Pipavav Shipyard/RNaval case), raising governance and eligibility concerns. |
Credit Rating Concerns | A downgrade to default by CRISIL reflects financial stress signals, though it does not equate a formal insolvency or bankruptcy. |
The available information does not indicate any direct bankruptcy or insolvency of JSPL. Instead, it highlights JSPL’s indirect role in insolvency proceedings and raises concerns regarding managerial affiliations and credit rating downgrades.

Assessment of Financial and Operational Resilience of Jindal Steel And Power Ltd
Balance Sheet Overview
Fiscal Year | Total Assets (INR) | Total Liabilities (INR) | Shareholders’ Equity (INR) | Equity Ratio (%) |
2020 | 897,419,500,000 | 583,812,500,000 | 313,607,000,000 | ~35.0 |
2021 | 778,403,900,000 | 469,037,500,000 | 309,366,700,000 | ~39.7 |
2022 | 766,435,400,000 | 395,483,200,000 | 370,952,200,000 | ~48.4 |
2023 | 694,272,100,000 | 304,081,500,000 | 390,190,800,000 | ~56.2 |
2024 | 787,151,800,000 | 339,645,300,000 | 447,506,500,000 | ~56.9 |
Observations:
There is a consistent strengthening of the equity base from 2020 to 2024, as indicated by the rising equity ratio.
A higher equity ratio suggests less reliance on external financing, providing resilience during economic downturns Wikipedia.
Cash Flow Summary
Fiscal Year | Operating Cash Flow (INR) | Free Cash Flow (INR) |
2020 | 47.09 billion | 72.74 billion |
2021 | 98.70 billion | 111.03 billion |
2022 | 135.61 billion | 131.03 billion |
2023 | 84.80 billion | 8.99 billion |
2024 | 38.68 billion | (25.09) billion (negative) |
Observations:
The company generated robust operating cash flows between 2020 and 2022, signifying healthy core operations.
Although free cash flow was strong up to 2022, the sharp decline in 2023 and negative free cash flow in 2024 indicate significantly higher capital expenditures or increased working capital requirements, which could be strategic investments or reactions to market conditions Investopedia.
Resilience Indicators and Analysis
Indicator | Assessment/Observation |
Liquidity Position | High current assets in most years indicate ample liquidity to manage short-term obligations. |
Leverage | Declining long-term debt from 2020 to 2023, with a moderate uptick in 2024, reflects prudent debt management. |
Operating Performance | Consistently positive operating cash flows underscore strong earnings capacity and business resilience in fluctuating markets. |
Capital Expenditure Impact | The negative free cash flow in 2024 suggests heavy reinvestment which, while reducing short-term liquidity, may support long-term growth in challenging economic climates. |
Summary of Resilience
Jindal Steel And Power Ltd has demonstrated financial resilience over the period 2020–2024. An improving equity ratio and strong operating cash flows up until 2022 highlight its robust balance sheet and operational performance. However, the significant capital outlays in recent periods—reflected in the decline of free cash flow—suggest that the firm is also investing heavily to potentially enhance its future competitiveness, even under market uncertainties.
These indicators collectively suggest that while the company remains financially stable and operationally strong, its recent investment activities amplify short-term cash flow pressures, a factor that market participants should monitor during economic downturns.

Investigate Discrepancies between Public Records & Disclosed Ownership Details of Jindal Steel And Power Ltd.
Overview
Based on the available records, the disclosed ownership details come from public records for different categories of holders. The retrieved information includes data for fund holders, while institutional holders and direct holders lists are provided as empty. This difference may indicate that public disclosures rely primarily on aggregated fund ownership details, and some other categories might not be fully updated or disclosed.
Fund Holders Details
The detailed data available on fund holders includes reported share counts, their reported value, and the percentage held. Below is the breakdown of the fund holders:
Entity Name | Date Reported | Shares | Value (INR) | Percent Held |
New World Fund, Inc. | 2023-07-31 | 11,133,104 | 7,406,854,091 | 0.0109 |

Fidelity SAI Emerging Markets Value Index Fund | 2023-07-31 | 846,895 | 563,439,243 | 0.0008 |
Institutional and Direct Holders
Public records for institutional and direct holders show empty data sets. This suggests two possibilities:
Holder Category | Number of Entries |
Institutional Holders | 0 |
Direct Holders | 0 |
The public records for these categories might not be updated or disclosed.
The reporting may focus predominantly on fund holders, leaving out more granular details regarding institutional or direct ownership.
Discrepancies Observed
Aspect | Discrepancy Observed |
Reported Data Categories | Fund holders data is available while institutional and direct lists are empty. |
Data Granularity | Ownership is detailed explicitly for funds, but lacks data for other categorisations, leading to an incomplete overall view of ownership. |
This discrepancy could lead to a misinterpretation of the full ownership landscape of Jindal Steel And Power Ltd, since the public records may not capture all underlying ownership aspects beyond fund holdings. The absence of data on institutional and direct holders prevents complete cross-verification between various disclosure sources.
Conclusion
There is a clear difference between the detailed record of fund holders and the lack of publicly disclosed information for institutional and direct holders. This limited dataset is a discrepancy in itself, suggesting that the available public records do not fully encompass all aspects of the company’s disclosed ownership structure.
