JSW Infra Set to Launch Rs 2,800 Crore IPO by September-End

12 Sep 2023 CW Team

The company's intention is to utilize the funds generated from this IPO to address the debt of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely JSW Dharamtar Port and Jaigarh Port. Additionally, it aims to finance the capital expenditures of two other subsidiaries, JSW Jaigarh Port and JSW Mangalore Container Terminal, among other strategic initiatives, according to insider reports. However, the company has chosen not to comment on this development.

JSW Infra, which initially acquired a port concession at Mormugao, Goa in 2002 and commenced operations in 2004, has since expanded its operations to encompass nine port concessions across India as of December 31, 2022. This expansion has transformed the company into a diversified maritime ports entity. A port concession involves a government transferring the operation rights of a port to a private enterprise.

Financially, JSW Infra has witnessed substantial growth, with its revenues more than doubling from Rs 1,143 crore in FY19-20 to Rs 2,273 crore in FY22-23. In May 2023, the company submitted a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the market regulator SEBI for its proposed Rs 2,800 crore IPO. Nonetheless, JSW Infra has refrained from making any official comments on this development.
