In October this year, JSW Infrastructure, a division of the JSW Group led by Sajjan Jindal, had made strong entry into the stock exchanges. It was third entity within the conglomerate to be listed on domestic bourses, following JSW Steel and JSW Energy, and marked a return to stock market listings after a hiatus of 13 years.

Besides, JSW Group has also been exploring prospects in emerging sectors such as defence, electric vehicles (EV), semiconductors, drones, and IT services.
