Stock: Jayaswal Neco Industries Ltd (JAYNECOIND)
Current Market Price (CMP): ₹72
Target Price: ₹91 (EV/EBITDA @ 7× FY27E)
Upside: 27%
Duration: 1 Year
52-Week High/Low: ₹75.6 / ₹26.1
Market Cap: ₹69.69 bn
1) Captive iron-ore advantage with long visibility
Two operational iron-ore mines in Chhattisgarh Metabodeli (1 MTPA; valid till 2052) and Chotedongar (2.95 MTPA; valid till 2055). Current production is ~3 MTPA vs approved 4 MTPA; an additional 3 MTPA expansion is applied for (EC pending). Post approvals, total mining approval can reach 7 MTPA, ensuring raw-material security till 2055.
2) EBITDA-accretive pelletisation & beneficiation
Pellet plant: 1.5 MTPA operating; expansion planned with ₹6,400–6,500 mn capex over the next two years (subject to funding/cash flows). Pellet margins for low-cost miners are ₹1,000–1,500/ton, implying meaningful incremental EBITDA.
Coal washery: 1.5 MTPA in place; another 1.5 MTPA expected by Oct-2025, targeting ₹800–900 mn annual cost savings.
3) Balance-sheet strengthening via refinancing
Total debt ₹24,100 mn. In Aug-2025, JNIL refinanced ₹23 bn high-cost NCDs with Tata Capital at 12.5% p.a. (from 17.5%), 72-month repayment, DSRA and early redemption options. Finance costs to reduce by Dec-2025. Maturities of ₹4.79 bn (FY26) and ₹3.83 bn (FY27) are expected to be covered by internal accruals. 100% of promoter holding (55.2% as of 30-Jun-2024) is pledged with new lenders; 50% will be released post 50% repayment, improving flexibility.
4) Integrated, cost-efficient steel platform
JNIL operates across mining → pelletisation → power → downstream steel, enabling cost control, operating leverage and margin stability through cycles.
5) Valuation & view
Bajaj Broking values JNIL on EV/EBITDA, applying 7× FY27E to arrive at a ₹91 target. The thesis rests on (i) captive ore advantage, (ii) pellet/washery-led EBITDA accretion, and (iii) interest-cost normalization post refinancing.
Key risks (from PPT):
High promoter pledge (99.87%) limits flexibility.
EC timelines for mine expansion can slip.
Limited banking relationships may slow optimization.
Founded in 1972 in Nagpur, JNIL has grown from a private foundry into one of India’s leading integrated alloy steel & castings manufacturers. After a challenging phase (near IBC referral), the company stabilized through asset monetization, refinancing, and capacity ramp-ups. It now operates as a cost-efficient steel producer with captive mines, pelletisation, power generation, and downstream steel capacity.

JNIL’s integrated model (captive ore, pelletisation, washery, power, downstream steel) plus refinancing-led cost relief sets up a credible earnings recovery. With mine leases valid till 2052/2055, expansion optionality to 7 MTPA, and a ₹91 target (EV/EBITDA 7× FY27E), the thesis emphasizes improving cost curve and cash flows. Near-term watchpoints include high promoter pledge and EC timelines for the mining expansion.
