Orissa High Court Quashes Rs 696 Crore Demand, Sets Aside Rs 1,473 Crore Notice to JSW Steel
The Orissa High Court quashed a Rs 696 crore penalty imposed on JSW Steel by mining authorities over shortfalls in mineral dispatches from its Jajang Iron Ore Block during 2020-21. The court also set aside a separate Rs 1,473 crore demand for 2024-25, directing authorities to reconsider it. JSW Steel had challenged both demands through petitions. Following the rulings, the company’s shares rose, reflecting investor relief. The court’s decisions align with earlier judgments and await fresh assessments by mining officials.
