JSL said the merged entity will present reinvestment opportunities for growth by leveraging ready infrastructure at Jajpur for cost-efficient brownfield expansions.

Post the merger, JSL will be the single listed entity on the stock exchanges and the promoter holding will be 57 per cent while the remaining 43 per cent will be held by the public.
