JSPL has worked tirelessly with a singular focus of debt reduction of more than Rs. 20000 crore from a peak of approx. Rs.46,500 crore in 3QFY17 to Rs.25,600 crore as reported in 3QFY21. This reduction of Rs.2,462 crore is over & above the annual committed debt reduction in the financial year 2020-2021.
