JSW Infrastructure Limited, India’s second-largest private port operator, has unveiled a ?2,359 crore capital expenditure plan to expand capacity at its Jaigarh and Dharamtar ports. The ambitious project aims to enhance the ports combined capacity by 36 million tonnes per annum (MTPA)-21 MTPA at Dharamtar and 15 MTPA at Jaigarh.
Following the expansion, Jaigarh Port’s capacity will increase from 55 MTPA to 70 MTPA, while Dharamtar Port’s capacity will rise from 34 MTPA to 55 MTPA. This initiative is part of JSW Infrastructure’s broader goal to achieve a total capacity of 400 MTPA by 2030, up from the current 170 MTPA.
The expansion project, expected to be completed by March 2027, will include the development of new berths and infrastructure enhancements such as railway siding at Jaigarh Port. The upgrade is intended to support the anticipated increase in cargo volume from a major customer’s proposed 5 MTPA steel-making facility in Dolvi, Maharashtra.
JSW Infrastructure estimates that the expansion will facilitate an additional cargo handling volume of around 27 MTPA across the two ports. |
