Bhushan Power & Steel Acquisition

Bhushan Power & Steel was acquired by JSW Steel for $232M on 26 March 2021.

The acquisition price implies a 0.9x revenue and 7.0x EBITDA multiple on $263M of revenue.

Bhushan Power & Steel Limited (BPSL) operates an integrated steel plant with iron ore mine in Odisha, originally with 2.75-2.5 MTPA capacity, expanded post-acquisition to 4.5 MTPA crude steel capacity. JSW Steel, India's major steel producer, acquired BPSL through the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) process in 2021 via its subsidiary Piombino Steel Ltd, paying Rs 19,350 crore consideration transferred to financial creditors on March 26, 2021, securing 100% equity. The deal faced prolonged legal challenges, including Supreme Court orders in 2025, ultimately upheld in September 2025, confirming JSW's ownership. The acquisition strategically expanded JSW Steel's capacity from ~18 MTPA to ~23 MTPA, establishing a foothold in eastern India with synergies in iron ore procurement, value-added products, and freight savings despite elevated near-term debt. JSW invested Rs 3,500-4,500 crore in capex for growth and maintenance post-2021. By FY25, BPSL generated Rs 21,440 crore revenue and Rs 2,210 crore EBITDA under JSW, with Rs 5,000 crore net debt. In December 2025, JSW formed a 50:50 JV with JFE Steel, transferring BPSL steel business via slump sale for Rs 24,480 crore, with JFE investing Rs 15,750 crore for 50% stake, targeting 10 MTPA by 2030.
