About the Transferor Companies

- JSW Retail and Distribution Limited (JRDL): Engaged in the marketing and sale of steel products and provides technical consultancy services relating to the design, development and production of steel, aluminium sheets and other metal products.
No Fresh Equity Shares to Be Issued

Upon the scheme becoming effective, the shares held in the transferor companies will stand cancelled without any further act or deed, in accordance with the approved scheme.
Rationale Behind the Amalgamation
According to the scheme approved by the NCLT, the amalgamation is expected to deliver several benefits, including:
- Improving operational efficiency through the integration of businesses with common synergies.
- Better utilization of technical resources, personnel, capabilities and infrastructure.
- Reduction in administrative and operational costs.
- Simplification of the group’s corporate structure by reducing the number of legal entities.
- Rationalization of record-keeping and administrative functions.
- Faster and more efficient consolidation of group financial statements.
With the scheme now effective, the businesses of ARCL, MCL and JRDL will stand consolidated into JSW Steel Limited from the appointed date of April 1, 2026. The amalgamation is expected to simplify the group’s organizational structure and improve operational efficiency while eliminating the need to maintain multiple wholly owned subsidiaries.
