Man Discovers ₹1 Lakh In JSW Steel Shares Bought By His Father Turns Into ₹80 Crore After 30 Years

A Reddit user’s discovery of old JSW Steel share certificates bought by his father in the 1990s for ₹1 lakh has gone viral after they were found to be worth around ₹80 crore today. The story has reignited interest in the power of long-term investing and patience in the stock market.

Investor Sourav Dutta brought the tale to public attention on X, quoting the Reddit post and writing, “Guy on Reddit discovered JSW shares bought by his dad in the 1990s for ₹1L. Worth ₹80Cr today. Power of buy right sell after 30yrs.”

The post quickly gained traction on X, with users praising the incredible gains and sharing similar stories.

“People don’t realise how stock splits, bonuses and dividends add up over time. It’s magical,” wrote Anhad Arora.

Dutta responded, “True magic and the power of holding.”

Another user, Prasenjit, added, “Now, he can retire and live his life peacefully. Can even make a good business from it, a huge congratulations to him.”

JSW steel rewards long-term holders

JSW Steel Ltd, one of India’s leading steel manufacturers, has shown strong stock performance over the decades. Its current share price hovers around ₹1,004.90, with a market capitalisation of ₹2.37 trillion.

The company has offered consistent returns, reinforcing faith in the buy-and-hold investment approach.

The JSW story follows another similar event. A Chandigarh man, Rattan Dhillon, recently found a physical share certificate of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) from 1988. With no market experience, he posted on X for help. A user estimated his 30 shares had become 960 shares, valued at nearly ₹11.88 lakh today.

Both stories highlight how JSW Steel shares and other long-term investments can yield extraordinary returns when left untouched for decades.
