Shares of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) hit a fresh 52-week high today amid reports that that MSCI was likely to include the firm in its standard index.
Edelweiss Alternative & Quantitative Research in its latest report said MSCI could add five stocks and remove two stocks from its Standard Index. Jindal Steel & Power, Tata Elxsi, Voltas, Varun Beverages and Astral were likely to be added in the MSCI Standard Index.
However, Indraprastha Gas and MRF (India) could get excluded, said Edelweiss. A rise in prices of steel also took the JSPL stock to its fresh high. JSW Steel has raised rebar prices by Rs 1,250/tonne from March 23, 2022
SAIL has also increased HRC and cold rolled coil (CRC) prices by Rs 1,500/tonne. Other top steelmakers are also planning to raise prices in the coming days.
JSPL stock rises 3% after firm prepays $357-million loan of Mauritius arm
Amar Deo Singh, Head Advisory, Angel One said, "Jindal Steel stock hit a 52 week high today, with gains this year itself amounting to 38%. Overall, steel sector stocks have staged a remarkable rally, on the back of production cuts in China, rising steel prices, and cutting down on financial leverage. All this leading to rising profitability and increased investor interest. The stock looks poised to scale higher, with crucial upside resistance seen around Rs 550- Rs 575 zone, whereas support is seen around Rs 470- Rs 480 levels."

The prepayment of loan will help clear the entire debt of JSPML. The loan also had corporate guarantees from JSPL India, which will also get released, the firm said on March 20.
