JSW Steel today said Moody's Ratings has assigned it Baa3 long-term issuer rating with a stable outlook, placing the Company at global investment grade.

Moody's also upgraded JSW Steel's senior unsecured ratings and the guaranteed senior unsecured revenue bonds issued by Jefferson County Port Authority to Baa3 from Ba1, and withdrew the Company's earlier Ba1 corporate family rating.
