Reviewed 24 September 2026
Do you still own JSW Steel shares?
A certificate issued by Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Limited is a JSW Steel holding: the company was renamed on 16 June 2005, when Jindal Iron and Steel and Jindal Vijayanagar Steel came together. JSW Steel then sub-divided each ₹10 share into ten ₹1 shares with a record date of 5 January 2017, so an older certificate represents ten times its face count. JSW Steel names KFin Technologies as its registrar.

Quick reference: what to multiply your certificate by
Find the row for when the shares were bought. The multiplier is what each share on the certificate has become since, counting only the corporate actions we have verified.
| If bought | Each share is now | Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Shares held before 5 January 2017 | 10 JSW Steel shares | Face value fell from ₹10 to ₹1 |
| Shares bought after the 2017 split | 1 JSW Steel share | — |
Counting only the 2017 sub-division. A certificate naming Jindal Vijayanagar Steel predates the rename and the split, so it is the ten-times case.
