In an exchange filing, JSW Infra informed that the company has received a letter of award (LoA) for the integrated development of an outer container terminal, consisting of two berths and five berths at Netaji Subhas Dock (NSD) at the Kolkata Dock System.

The project has been accorded on a design, build, finance, operate and transfer, or DBFOT, basis under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. It is aimed at improving container handling capacity, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting growing trade volumes in the region.

The concession agreement will be valid for a 30-year tenure and will be executed in two phases. The project is expected to create a total capacity of approximately 0.93 million TEUs.

"This award builds on the company's earlier LOA for the reconstruction of Berth 8 and mechanisation of Berths 7 and 8 at NSD, Kolkata (0.45 million TEUs), with interim operations expected to commence shortly. Together, these two projects meaningfully expand the company's footprint at one of India’s key eastern gateway ports and reinforce its strategic presence in the Kolkata Dock System," JSW Infra said.

"Upon completion, and including the capacity from the ongoing Berth 7 and 8 project, the company's combined container handling capacity at the Kolkata Dock System is expected to scale up to approximately 1.4 million TEUs," it added.
