In a major market development, the Sajjan Jindal Family Trust has initiated a ₹1,200 crore block deal in JSW Infrastructure to comply with SEBI’s minimum public shareholding (MPS) norms. The promoter group aims to offload up to 2% stake at a floor price of ₹288 per share. This strategic move not only aligns with regulatory requirements but also signals a key moment for investors tracking large-cap logistics and infrastructure plays.
JSW Infrastructure, listed on October 3, 2023, is the second-largest private port operator in India. With its rapid growth trajectory and FY30 revenue target of ₹8,000 crore, this sale may open up attractive opportunities for public investors.
Why Promoters Are Selling Shares: SEBI’s MPS Norms Explained
Under SEBI’s guidelines, newly listed firms must maintain 25% public shareholding within three years of listing. Currently, the Sajjan Jindal Family Trust holds 80.72%, and total promoter stake stands at 85.62%, leaving very limited public float.
To address this, the Trust has disclosed plans to reduce their holding in multiple tranches through the open market from May 13, 2025, to March 31, 2026. By doing so, JSW Infra ensures adherence to regulatory norms without resorting to complex restructuring.
This decision reflects a healthy transparency from promoters and boosts retail and institutional investor participation — a sign of growing corporate maturity.
What This Means for Retail Investors and Traders?
With a floor price of ₹288 and around 42 million shares on offer, retail and institutional investors could find short- to mid-term trading setups. Given the company’s 18% stock price gain in the past year, a further increase in liquidity can drive price discovery and better valuation alignment.
For swing and positional traders, such a high-volume block deal could signal increased volatility in the short run. However, over the longer term, broader public shareholding could improve the company’s visibility and inclusion in key indices.

JSW Infrastructure’s Growth Potential Still Intact
Despite the stake sale, JSW Infra’s fundamentals remain strong. The company has a 177 mtpa port capacity and is expanding aggressively in the logistics space. Backed by the JSW Group, it’s strategically placed to capture India’s growing import-export and coastal cargo traffic.
The promoter’s partial exit is not a sign of weakness but a regulatory necessity, and their continued majority stake reinforces their confidence in the business.
