JSW Infrastructure Limited (JSWIL) approved capital expenditure (CapEx) worth Rs 23.59 billion for the capacity expansion at Jaigarh and Dharamtar Ports on September 9, 2024.
The project aims to increase the overall capacity of Jaigarh Port to 70 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) from the current 55 mtpa, and Dharamtar Port to 55 mtpa from the current 34 mtpa. The expansion 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 expansion at both ports is expected to generate an additional cargo handling volume of approximately 27 mtpa and is expected to be completed by March 2027.
