Jindal Steel share price will also be in focus today.

Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) has made a pre-payment of US$ 106 m (about Rs 7.8 bn) to the lenders of its arm Jindal Steel & Power (Australia).

Without sharing further details, the steelmaker said the prepayment has helped the company reduce the debt by approximately 50&.

The company is now aiming to clear all its overseas debt in the coming quarters.

JSPL Managing Director V R Sharma said,

• We are paying back to lenders before time in order to strengthen our balance sheet. The company is aligned with the India growth story and we want to become a net debt-free company by the financial year 2023 through accelerated deleveraging.

Part of the OP Jindal Group, JSPL has a presence in steel, power and mining sectors. The company has made investments worth US$ 12 bn (Rs 900 bn) across the globe.

Byju's fast-tracks IPO plans

Education startup Byju's is in talks to raise between US$400 m to US$600 m and then accelerate plans for an initial public offering (IPO) next year.

As per a leading financial daily, Byju's could close the pre-IPO fundraising in a few weeks at a valuation of about US$21 bn. The fundraising is likely to be split between equity and debt.

Byju's is then aiming to file its initial IPO documents as early as the second quarter of next year. It had previously looked at a timeline of 12 to 24 months.

Bankers including Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are in talks for discussing valuations.

Investment bankers have also pitched alternatives such as an US IPO or a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, but people close to the matter said those options are less likely than a listing in India.

Byju's added 45 m students to its platform as the pandemic peaked in India last year and said in July it has more than 100 m users on the app. Around 6.5 m are paid subscribers and its annual renewal rate is 86%.
