In news from the steel sector, Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) on Tuesday reported a highest-ever quarterly jump in sales volume of 10% year-on-year (YoY) at 2.13 m tonnes in the September quarter of fiscal 2022 with production growing by 5% to 1.93 m tonnes.

The Naveen Jindal-led company's steel sales have breached the 2 m tonnes mark for the first time.

In a statement, the company said,

• Exports continue to boost sales with a share of exports rising to greater than 40% in Q2FY22, from 34% in Q1FY22 and 38% in Q2FY21.
  
  JSPL has now better raw materials security, which will add significant value to the company...We are fully committed and believe in India growth story.

Inventory levels continue to decline as sales volume surpassed production for the third consecutive month.

One of the company's Australian coking coal mines is operational and it is expecting the first shipment on 21 November.

This will reduce the company's coking coal dependency significantly.

JSPL has also been shortlisted as preferred bidder for Kasia (Odisha) iron ore mine by Government of Odisha.

Jindal Steel & Power share price has opened the day up by 0.6%.

Moving on to news from the telecom sector, Bharti Airtel is among the top buzzing stocks today.

Bharti Airtel's rights entitlement (RE) shares rallied 40% on day one of listing. Yesterday, Bharti Airtel-RE shares were trading 39.97% higher at Rs 204.50 on BSE.

The value of the RE shares is more or less close to the spread between the company's share price and the offer price of the rights issue. The actual traded price may differ depending upon the demand.

In case of Bharti Airtel RE, a rights share has been offered at Rs 535 and the market price of Bharti Airtel is Rs 681.10. This means the intrinsic value of RE is Rs 146.

Bharti Airtel's mega Rs 210-bn rights issue will remain open for investors till 21 October 2021.

At the time of application to the rights issue, investors have to pay Rs 133.75 per share, while the remaining will be collected in two separate installments.

The company has decided on a rights entitlement ratio of 1:14. The shares issued to investors will then be converted to partly paid-up shares and listed on the BSE and NSE, separately.

As of 28 September, Bharti shareholders were allotted RE shares in their demat accounts. Those REs not renounced or exercised on or before 21 October will lapse.

The company's promoters will subscribe to the full extent of its aggregate right and any unsubscribed shares in the issue.

Market experts are suggesting that shareholders could consider subscribing to the company's rights issue.

Bharti Airtel share price has opened the day up by 0.2%.
