29 Jan 2026 CW Team

Under the investment plan, JSW Infrastructure intends to spend around Rs 130 billion on ports and Rs 35 billion on logistics over FY27 and FY28. This follows a revised capital expenditure plan of Rs 35 billion for FY26, including Rs 20 billion for ports and Rs 15 billion for logistics.

As of December 2025, the company’s net debt stood at Rs 18.88 billion, with a net debt-to-operating EBITDA ratio of 0.76 times, reflecting a relatively conservative leverage position.

For FY26, JSW Infrastructure has set a target of consolidated operating revenue of Rs 54 billion and operating EBITDA of Rs 26 billion. The company expects EBITDA growth of around 15 per cent in FY27 and anticipates a doubling of EBITDA by FY28 compared with FY26 levels. This outlook is supported by the commissioning of port expansion projects and the transition of logistics investments from the capital expenditure phase to revenue generation.

JSW Infrastructure expects cargo volumes of around 123 million tonnes in the current year. By FY28, the company projects a substantial increase to between 165 million and 175 million tonnes, driven by capacity additions and rising demand.

In the December quarter, the company’s net profit rose by 9.1 per cent to Rs 3.59 billion, while revenue increased by 14.2 per cent to Rs 13.49 billion. EBITDA grew by 10.1 per cent to Rs 6.43 billion, although margins declined slightly to 47.6 per cent from 49.5 per cent a year earlier.

As of 27 January 2026 at 9:18 am, JSW Infrastructure’s share price on the NSE was trading at Rs 260.10, up by 1.46 per cent from the previous closing price.

Overall, JSW Infrastructure’s Rs 165 billion investment plan underscores its strategic focus on expanding port and logistics infrastructure, with the objective of strengthening operational capacity and doubling operating EBITDA by FY28.
