India among fastest growing economies: JSW Group chairman Sajjan Jindal
Speaking at the listing ceremony of JSW Cement at the NSE here, Jindal said India is the fastest growing large economy and has a great future ahead, days after US President Donald Trump's remark of India being a dead economy.
'We are going to see a great future for India, because India is growing, it's one of the largest, fastest growing large economies in the world. Whatever Trump may say, that doesn't matter. We are the fastest growing large economy in the world," Jindal said.
Amid the trade policy negotiations, Trump had called India as a 'dead economy" while expressing disappointment with New Delhi's posturing to continue buying cheap oil from Russia.
'I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together," Trump had reportedly said.
Stating that JSW Cement will grow fast as accelerated growth is in the DNA of the Group, he said, 'we can't be conservative, we have to be aggressive and that's what India requires. India needs aggressive companies, India needs growth." Meanwhile, shares of JSW Cement Ltd listed with a premium of over 4 per cent against the issue price of Rs 147 on Thursday.
The company's stock opened at Rs 153, up 4 per cent from the issue price on the BSE. Later, it jumped 5.23 per cent to Rs 154.70. At the NSE, it listed at Rs 153.50, a premium of 4.42 per cent.
The company's market valuation stood at Rs 20,914.02 crore.
The capital markets are not just about raising funds, it's about winning the trust of the investors, Jindal said and added that 'in the long run, you don't need to take a big jump, but small steps and the investors are always with you." JSW Cement Managing Director Parth Jindal said that he was aiming to take the company to the top two in the industry. '… I have to dream to be in the top two and we all will dream to be in the top two and to build this company," he said.
'We have just begun and I hope that we can create value for all our minority shareholders and take this company to its rightful place and be a big part of the future growth story of the JSW group," he said.
He said that at present a lot of JSW group companies have the vision to go public, adding that," Now, I'm fully trained, fully ready and geared up to take all of you public as well." PTI IAS DRR

WATCH: B-2 stealth bomber roars over Putin as Trump showcases US military might in Alaska
The US showcased its military might in Alaska as a B-2 stealth bomber roared overhead during Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin. A viral video captured the dramatic flyover US President Donald Trump salutes as he walks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the tarmac after they arrived at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15, 2025. (Photo: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP) The United States put its military might on full display Friday in Alaska as a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, flanked by fighter jets, thundered across the sky above Russian President Vladimir Putin during his high-stakes meeting with US President Donald Trump on the Ukraine conflict. The dramatic flyover was caught in a 22-second viral video showing the two leaders walking down a red carpet at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage when the B-2 screeched overhead. Putin briefly glanced upward as the aircraft passed, a striking moment that underscored America's show of power ahead of sensitive talks. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump just flew a B-2 stealth bomber over Putin's head… Absolutely incredible. — Geiger Capital (@Geiger_Capital) August 15, 2025 The B-2, built by Northrop Grumman, remains the most expensive warplane ever constructed at roughly $2.1 billion apiece. Equipped with cutting-edge stealth technology, the aircraft is capable of slipping past advanced air defenses to deliver precision strikes against hardened targets. Its capabilities were demonstrated earlier this year when US forces struck Iranian nuclear sites, reportedly dropping six bunker-buster bombs on the Fordow facility in June. Trump on Friday said his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin were 'productive,' noting that 'many points were agreed to' and 'very few' remain, hinting at a possible resolution to the Ukraine conflict. 'We had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to. There are just a very few that are left. We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there… There's no deal until there's a deal, but progress was made in Ukraine talks with Vladimir Putin,' Trump said at a joint press conference in Anchorage, Alaska. The summit, held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, began with Trump rolling out the red carpet for Putin in a grand welcome that went viral after images showed US troops kneeling to set it in place. The two leaders then met behind closed doors for more than three hours before appearing together to deliver statements. Neither Trump nor Putin took questions afterward. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, 'Exhaustive statements were made.' He added that the talks had been 'very positive' and would allow both sides to 'confidently continue moving forward together on the path of seeking resolution options.'

Minister Dr G Parameshwara: Firms keen on Metro to Tumakuru
TUMAKURU: Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara here on Friday expressed confidence that the Metro Rail project from Bengaluru will be extended to Tumakuru as some companies have expressed interest to implement the project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. 'The Metro Rail feasibility report was submitted to the government and it will be presented before the cabinet or technical committee. Some companies have come forward to implement the project and a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be floated to run the project. The median running along the National Highway will be used, and for that permission from the Centre is required. If the sanction is not given, we will plan an alternative,' he said after taking part in the 78th Independence Day celebrations at the Mahatma Gandhi stadium here. Metro and suburban rails are two possible transport projects between Bengaluru and Tumakuru, Kolar, Mysuru, Kanakapura and Nelamangala. The cabinet approved an allocation of Rs 25 crore for a feasibility study. He said the work on the six-lane National Highway between Bengaluru and Tumakuru is in progress and it will be converted to ten lanes. The minister said CM Siddaramaiah, PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi and he met Union Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to discuss this project. Deputy Commissioner Subha Kalyan and Superintendent of Police Ashok KV have cleared some bottlenecks and the work will be completed by 2026, he said. He hoped that the construction of a new international cricket stadium near Tumakuru by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) will help prevent stampedes like the one at M Chinnaswamy stadium that claimed the lives of 11. The government has already handed over 41 acres to KSCA, but the project was delayed after the cricket association was busy battling issues related to the stampede, he said. KSCA has made a provision of Rs 160 crore for the stadium.
