Synopsis:
JSW Infra won a ₹740 crore project at Kolkata port. The 30-year DBFOT contract aligns with its growth strategy, boosting capacity and container handling. It marks a major step in expanding JSW’s presence in India’s port infrastructure and container segment.
The shares of the prominent port operator gained up to 2 percent in today’s trading session after the company bagged a significant letter of award (LOA) from the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority.
With a market capitalization of Rs 65,215.55 crore, the shares of JSW Infrastructure Ltd were trading at Rs 310.55 per share, increasing around 1.75 percent as compared to the previous closing price of Rs 305.20 apiece.
The shares of JSW Infrastructure Ltd have seen bullish movement after receiving a Letter of Award for reconstructing Berth No. 8 and mechanizing Berths 7 and 8 at Netaji Subhash Dock, Kolkata. The project will be executed on a DBFOT basis under the PPP model, reflecting strong order inflow and growth opportunities in port infrastructure development.
Furthermore, the Rs 740 crore project, awarded for 30 years under the port privatization drive, aligns with JSW Infrastructure’s strategy to expand its terminal footprint. With a two-year construction timeline, operations can begin during the build phase, benefiting from steady cargo volumes in Kolkata. Once completed, it will boost capacity and operational efficiency at the Netaji Subhash Dock.
