Jindal Steel shares in focus as SEBI takeover regulation disclosure filed for Jindal Power and PACs
Why did Jindal Steel Ltd shares jump today?
Shares of Jindal Steel Ltd edged up slightly in morning trade on Thursday, rising 0.22% to ₹1053.9 as of 10:13 AM. The marginal uptick came after the stock exchanges received an important regulatory disclosure from Jindal Power Limited regarding a fresh acquisition of shares in the company.
As per the disclosure filed under Regulation 29(2) of SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, Jindal Power Limited along with Persons Acting in Concert (PACs) acquired 3,49,076 equity shares of Jindal Steel Limited (formerly known as Jindal Steel & Power Limited) on October 26, 2026. The disclosure was submitted to both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) on October 28, 2026, and was signed off by Deepak Nathani, Company Secretary of Jindal Power Limited. This regulatory requirement mandates that acquirers disclose any acquisition of shares beyond the specified threshold to ensure transparency in the capital markets.
Such disclosures under the SEBI Takeover Regulations are closely watched by investors as they signal increasing promoter or promoter-group confidence in the company. While the share price movement was modest, the continued acquisition of shares by Jindal Power Limited — a related entity within the promoter group — reflects a steady accumulation strategy and is generally viewed as a positive development for existing shareholders. The stock remained in focus as traders weighed the implications of the substantial shareholding changes being reported at the promoter level.

Jindal Steel Ltd Financials
In CroresJindal Steel Ltd posted revenue of ₹15,552.83 Crores in the quarter ended June 2026, which grew to ₹16,738.94 Crores in the quarter ended September 2026, representing a sequential increase of approximately ₹1,186.11 Crores or about 7.6%, indicating a healthy top-line growth trend. However, the profitability trajectory moved in the opposite direction, with profit declining from ₹844.79 Crores in Jun 2026 to ₹774.43 Crores in Sep 2026, a sequential drop of approximately ₹70.36 Crores or around 8.3%. The divergence between rising revenue and falling profit suggests margin compression during the September 2026 quarter, as the net profit margin narrowed from approximately 5.4% in Jun 2026 to roughly 4.6% in Sep 2026, implying that rising input costs or other expenses outpaced revenue growth. While the top line shows a positive growth trend, the bottom-line decline warrants attention to cost management and operational efficiency in subsequent quarters.
