Additionally, the company announced the commencement of commercial operations at Jindal Paradip Port Limited's 12.5 MTPA Phase I capacity and reported various stock option grants under its employee benefit scheme, though these operational and earnings updates formed part of broader background context rather than a direct trigger for today's price drop.
