JSW Infrastructure has received a Letter of Award from the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority for the integrated development of the Outer Container Terminal and Berths 1 through 5 at Netaji Subhash Dock, Kolkata Dock System. The project, awarded on June 8, 2026, under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) model via Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode, will enhance the company's container handling footprint on the east coast. The concession is valid for 30 years from the date of the award.

Project Overview

The project involves the development of two outer container handling berths and the takeover of five existing berths at Netaji Subhash Dock. This initiative is designed to address capacity constraints and improve operational efficiency at the port. The development will be executed in two phases.

Capacity and Strategic Impact

The terminal will have a combined capacity to handle 0.93 million TEUs of containers and multipurpose cargo. This award complements the company's earlier project for the reconstruction of Berth 8 and mechanization of Berths 7 and 8 at the same dock, which has a capacity of 0.45 million TEUs. Upon completion of both projects, the combined container handling capacity at the Kolkata Dock System is expected to scale up to approximately 1.4 million TEUs.

The company's overall container handling capacity is projected to reach approximately 1.8 million TEUs upon the completion of identified growth projects. This expansion aligns with JSW Infrastructure's strategy to diversify into the container segment and scale up its third-party cargo business. The Concession Agreement is scheduled to be executed within 30 days from the date of issuance of the Letter of Award.
