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.

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

This project is a major boost to JSW’s growing container business. Currently:

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