JSW Infrastructure Secures Kolkata Port Project to Boost Container Handling & Eastern Presence
Mumbai, July 7, 2025:
JSW Infrastructure Ltd, India’s second-largest private port operator, has been awarded a significant project by the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority for the reconstruction and mechanization of Berths 7 and 8 at Netaji Subhas Dock, Kolkata.
The ₹740 crore project will be executed on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) basis under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and comes with a 30-year concession.

Strategic Move to Strengthen Container Business

45. Expand port terminal portfolio under India’s port privatization initiative

48. JSW operates New Mangalore Container Terminal (capacity being upgraded to 0.35 million TEUs)
