Kolkata Port Gets Major Upgrade as JSW Infrastructure Secures LoA for Berth Redevelopment

In Kolkata, JSW Infrastructure has secured a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Shyama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority for reconstructing berth 8 and mechanizing berths 7 and 8 at Netaji Subhas Dock. The project, awarded under the DBFOT model for 30 years, is valued at ₹740 crore and will boost Kolkata Port’s container handling capacity. The initiative aligns with JSW Infra’s expansion strategy and strengthens its presence across India’s eastern and western port operations.

The ₹740 crore project will be executed under a public-private partnership and is designed to enhance operational efficiency and terminal capacity. The port operator will begin partial operations even during the construction phase, capitalizing on Kolkata’s steady cargo volumes. Once completed in two years, the project is expected to significantly improve throughput and mechanization at the dock. This move reflects JSW Infra’s targeted investment strategy, aiming to reach a total container handling capacity nearing 1 million TEUs across its national footprint.

This addition marks a strategic boost to JSW Infrastructure’s eastern operations and complements its New Mangalore Container Terminal on the western coast, which is currently being expanded. The firm confirmed the project is not a related party transaction, ensuring compliance with all regulatory norms. The parent company, JSW Group, continues its upward trajectory, posting a 56.67% YoY net profit growth in Q4 FY25, reinforcing its leadership in India’s private port sector.
