The BSE group 'A' stock of face value Rs. 10 has touched a 52 week high of Rs. 123.60 on 25-Mar-2015 and a 52 week low of Rs. 59.10 on 12-Feb-2016.

JSW Energy is reportedly planning to acquire a 1,000 MW Jindal Power plant for about Rs 6,000 crore. The deal is likely to be announced shortly. Jindal Power (JPL) is owned by Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL). Cash-crunch due to the downturn in steel prices and burgeoning debt might force the JSPL to shed some assets.

JSW Energy, part of the JSW Group, is a growing energy company. The Group has diversified interests in carbon steel, power, mining, industrial gases, port facilities, aluminium, cement and information technology.
