JSW Infrastructure Share Price in Focus on LoA for Kolkata Port Project Worth ₹740 Crore

JSW Infrastructure has received a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority for work at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Dock. As per the filing, the contract includes reconstructing Berth 8 and mechanising Berths 7 and 8. The project will be executed under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) model.

Estimated Investment 

The estimated capital expenditure for the project is ₹740 crore. It comes with a 30-year concession period. The construction phase is expected to take 2 years. However, the company will begin operations during the construction period itself.

The project is focused on improving container handling capacity at the port. The mechanisation of berths is expected to streamline cargo movement. This move is part of broader port upgrades being carried out under the public-private partnership model.

Expansion in the East

The Kolkata project strengthens JSW Infra’s presence on the eastern coast. The company currently operates multiple port concessions along India’s coastlines. This is one of its key container segment investments.

On the western coast, JSW Infra operates the New Mangalore Container Terminal. It currently handles 0.2 million TEUs and is being expanded to 0.35 million TEUs. With the Kolkata addition, total container capacity will move closer to 1 million TEUs.

Future Capacity Targets

As of FY25, JSW Infra’s cargo handling capacity is 177 million tonnes per annum. The company has announced a plan to scale this to 400 million tonnes by FY30 or earlier. A capex of ₹30,000 crore is allocated for port development and ₹9,000 crore for logistics.
