JSW Infrastructure has received permission to commence operations at Berth No. 7 and its Back Up Area at the Netaji Subhash Dock under Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata. This development marks a significant milestone for the company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, JSW Kolkata Container Terminal Private Limited.
The permission was granted by the Principal Commissioner of Customs (Port), as per a trade circular dated 7th May 2026. This follows the company’s previous receipt of a Letter of Award for the reconstruction and mechanisation of Berth Nos. 7 and 8 at the same dock. The project is being executed on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) basis through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
JSW Infrastructure had earlier signed a Concession Agreement on 15th September 2025, following the initial Letter of Award received on 7th July 2025. The commencement of operations at Berth No. 7 is expected to enhance the operational capacity and efficiency of the port facilities under the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata.
The approval to start operations is a crucial step in the company’s strategic expansion plans and is likely to contribute positively to its operational portfolio. This move aligns with JSW Infrastructure‘s commitment to enhancing its infrastructure capabilities and expanding its footprint in key port locations across India.
