SW Steel Ltd on Friday said a US district court has released its subsidiary JSW Steel USA Inc. (JSWUSA) from any further liability to MM Steel in return for a payment of $54.8 million (around Rs.368 crore).

“On June 16, 2016, the district court entered an order releasing JSW Steel USA Inc. from any further liability to MM Steel under the judgment in return for a payment of $5,48,52,478.24,” JSW Steel said in a BSE Ltd filing.
