JSW Steel's ambitious cost optimization plans hit a roadblock as it will have to rework its strategy in Odisha after the Supreme Court order to liquidate Bhushan Steel and Power Ltd (BPSL), according to a BigMint report. Last week on Friday, the Supreme Court set aside a resolution plan submitted by JSW Steel for Bhushan Steel and Power Limited (BSPL), holding it illegal and in violation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). In its analysis report, BigMint said, "BPSL's strategic importance was in its location in the eastern part of India where JSW Steel had taken up considerable iron ore mining assets. The company's Netrabandha iron ore mine in Odisha, expected to commence production in Q1FY26 with an estimated capacity of 2 MT per annum, could have resulted in significant cost optimization of BPSL's operations.". Besides JSW Steel has Narayanposhi Iron Ore & Manganese Block (185.1 MT reserve), Ganua Iron Ore Block (118.92 MT reserve) and Nuagaon Iron Ore Block (789 05 MT .
JSW Steel on Friday said it will review the Supreme Court order rejecting the company's resolution plan to take over Bhushan Steel and decide on future course of action. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court set aside the resolution plan submitted by JSW Steel for Bhushan Steel and Power Ltd (BSPL), holding it illegal and in violation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). "We learnt that the Hon'ble Supreme Court pronounced Judgment today i.e 02-05-2025 rejecting the resolution plan submitted by the company and approved by NCLAT, on certain grounds. We are yet to receive the formal copy of the Order to understand the grounds for rejection in detail and its implications," the company said in a filing to the BSE. "Once we receive the order and are able to review the same along with our legal advisors, we will decide on our further course of action," the company added. The Supreme Court bench comprising Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma ordered the ...
The ED has restituted assets worth Rs 4,025 crore of the erstwhile Bhushan Steel and Power Limited to JSW Steel following approval from the Supreme Court, the federal probe agency said on Saturday. JSW Steel was the successful resolution applicant to the assets of the insolvent company under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). These assets were earlier attached by the federal probe agency under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in an investigation against Bhushan Steel and Power and its promoters on charges of alleged bank loan fraud and "diversion" of those funds for personal investments. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said the restitution of assets worth Rs 4,025 crore was made under Section 8(8) of the PMLA (restitution pending trial), read with Rule 3A of PMLA Restoration of Property Rules.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday said it has attached immovable assets worth Rs 367 crore in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and some cities in Odisha as part of a money-laundering probe linked to an alleged bank-loan fraud against Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL). A provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach the assets that were held "in the name of benamidars/shell entities through dummy directors so as to conceal them and to ensure that they are out of the reach of law enforcement agencies", the ED has said in a statement. After completing the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP), BSL was taken over by Tata Steel Limited in 2018. The ED has accused BSL, its managing director Neeraj Singal and associates of forming "several shell companies". "They rotated funds from one company to another through a chain of multiple entities. The funds were circulated to infuse capital, buy property and for other personal purposes not ...

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday said it has conducted fresh searches against the promoters and entities of erstwhile Bhushan Steel Limited as part of a money laundering probe against them linked to an alleged Rs 56,000 crore bank fraud case. Thirty locations in the national capital region, Haryana, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar (Odisha) were raided and surveyed last week on October 13, officials said.

The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has set aside a Sebi's order to impose a Rs 2 lakh penalty on Bhushan Steel Ltd, now known as Tata Steel BSL Ltd, for disclosure lapses. Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated against the debt-laden Bhushan Steel Ltd in July 2017. After completing the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP), Bhushan Steel was taken over by Tata Steel Ltd in 2018. "The impugned order dated 14 February 2022, cannot be sustained and is quashed. However, it would be open to the respondent Sebi to issue a show cause notice for the alleged violation against the entity," SAT said in an order passed on December 20. The ruling comes after an appeal was filed against the Sebi order, levying a Rs 2 lakh fine on Bhushan Steel for not making the requisite disclosure under LODR (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) rules. It noted that the appellant was found guilty of non-disclosure of the number of investor complaints filed with the stock exchanges on a
