By that measure, the worth of three influential and politicallyconnected families — Jindals , Jayaswals and Jajodias — have rocketedby a whopping 2500% to 23000%

in 10 years starting March 2002. It cannot be a coincidence that firmsowned by these three families bagged 10% of all coal reserves allottedafter the captive mining sector was opened to private players in 1993.In the allocations, Congress MP Naveen Jindal’s company, Jindal Steeland Power (JSPL), emerged as the biggest beneficiary. It was allocatednine coal blocks with geological reserves of 2.58 billion tonnes or 6%of the total reserves allotted.

Jindal’s brother-in-law Sandeep Jajodia, the promoter of Monnet Ispatand Energy Ltd, was allocated five with geological reserves of 337million tonnes or 0.78% of the total reserves allotted.

Nagpur-based Jayaswal family that operates two group companies —Jayaswal Neco and Abhijeet Group (that has close links to Congress MPVijay Darda) — was allocated 10 with geological reserves of 923million tonnes or 2.13% of the total reserves allotted.

In addition to this, Jindal and Jajodia own equity in other coalblocks that brings up their total share.

However, neither mentioned this was possible mainly because of thegenerous coal and iron ore blocks JSPL benefited from.

For proof, look at the fortunes of Naveen Jindal’s cousin, SajjanJindal, who bagged just two coal blocks to Naveen’s nine.

Between 2005-2012, the market capitalisation of Sajjan’s company JSWSteel surged from Rs4,652 crore to Rs16,100 crore (up just 246%)against 1479% for Naveen’s JSPL (Rs3,225 crore to Rs50,946 crore).
