JSW Infrastructure Limited, a part of the JSW Group and India’s second-largest private commercial port operator, has approved a capex of Rs. 2,359 crore for the capacity expansion at its Jaigarh and Dharamtar Port.

As a part of the company’s FY2030 growth plan to increase capacity to 400 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) from the existing capacity of 170 MTPA, the Board of the respective subsidiary companies has approved a total capacity expansion plan of 36 MTPA (21 MTPA at Dharamtar and 15 MTPA at Jaigarh). The capex plan includes mechanical, civil, and electrical work for the new berths and additional infrastructure, such as railway siding for Jaigarh Port, to boost third-party cargo movement.

The expansion will increase the overall capacity of Jaigarh Port to 70 MTPA from the current 55 MTPA, and Dharamtar Port to 55 MTPA from the current 34 MTPA. This expansion primarily aims to cater to the increased cargo volume of the anchor customer on the back of the proposed 5 MTPA steel-making facility at Dolvi, Maharashtra. The expansion at both ports is expected to generate an additional cargo handling volume of approximately 27 MTPA. Construction at both ports is anticipated to be completed by March 2027.

JSW Infrastructure, the second largest private commercial port operator in India, currently operates ten port concessions strategically located on the west and east coasts of India. Its international presence includes a Liquid tank storage terminal of 4,65,000 cubic meters in Fujairah, UAE.

As part of its future growth strategy, the company plans to enhance its overall cargo-handling capacity to 400 MTPA by 2030 or earlier. It is also strengthening its market position by focusing on value-added offerings with end-to-end logistic support and a diversified cargo profile. JSW Infrastructure is committed to strengthening its ESG performance across the operational ecosystem by aligning its policies and practices with international standards. As a multinational conglomerate, JSW Group has a significant presence in sectors such as steel, energy, infrastructure, cement, sports, and venture capital among others.
