JSW Infrastructure Limited, India’s second-largest private commercial port operator, has informed exchanges that the company granted a capex of ₹2,359 crore for capacity expansion at its Jaigarh and Dharamtar Port.
In the exchange filing, the company shared, “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 extension will boost Jaigarh Port’s total capacity to 70 MTPA from its current 55 MTPA, and Dharamtar Port’s capacity to 55 MTPA from 34 MTPA. It is anticipated that the ports’ construction will be completed by March 2027.
