JSW Infrastructure commissions its first container terminal at NMPT

JSW Infrastructure has commissioned its first container terminal at New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT). This marks JSW Infrastructure’s diversification and foray into the container cargo business. The Container terminal at NMPT will aid the company’s plans to increase its diversified product portfolio and improve share of third-party cargo handled across its operations. The container business would provide JSW Infrastructure a firm footing to bid for future container handling projects in Indian and international markets. JSW Infrastructure has a 30-year concession agreement with NMPT for this container terminal on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis. This container terminal has a quay length of 350 meters and a backup storage area of 15.5 hectares.
