JSW Infrastructure Expands Eastern Operations with Kolkata Port Project

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
This development aligns with JSW Infrastructure’s long-term strategy to:
45. Expand port terminal portfolio under India’s port privatization initiative
46. Enhance container capacity and operational efficiency on the eastern seaboard

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)
