JSW Infrastructure is planning a capex of Rs 10,000 crore by 2025 which will also include investments in logistics.
The company has been accessing opportunities in rail connectivity since the last six-eight months. It could invest in rakes.
A part of JSW Group, JSW Infrastructure currently has a capacity of 120 million tonne with its third-party cargo growing over the last few years.
The company had started off its port operations as a support industry for its group companies, mainly JSW Steel and JSW Energy. However, over the years it has moved towards becoming a business vertical which later progressed to dedicated cargo handling from captive cargo and now is focused on being a strong third-party cargo handling company.
At present the company operates seven terminals and two ports --Dharamtar and Jaigad. Besides, two more terminals-- Paradip for coal and Mangaluru for containers are under construction.
The company is looking to add more capacity to touch 200 million tonne over the next three years and is of the view that container and liquid will make a stronger presence in the portfolio as bulk capacity is sizable already.
