Below are Quote on Jindal Steel prepayment of debt by Mr. Yash Gupta Equity Research Associate, Angel Broking Ltd   

Jindal steel and power limited announced that the company has made a payment of ₹ 2,462 crore to its term lenders. This is in continuation of its long stated financial strategy of debt reduction and building a robust balance sheet with optimum capital mix.

The Company's production stood at 7.51 Million tonnes during the financial year ended 31st March, 2021. JSPL has recently announced divestment of its thermal power business to reduce its debt further as well as to cut down on its carbon footprint by almost half.

JSPL has worked tirelessly with a singular focus of debt reduction of more than Rs. 20000 crores from a peak of approx. Rs.46,500 Cr in 3QFY17 to Rs.25,600 Cr as reported in 3QFY21. This reduction of Rs.2,462 Cr is over & above the annual committed debt reduction in the financial year 2020-2021.

This is very significant debt reduction by the company and aiming to become Net Debt free is also very positive for the stock.
