The stock is up by 57.50 per cent from its 52-week low of Rs 202 per share.
JSW Infrastructure Limited (JSWIL), a prominent player in India's ports and logistics sector, has unveiled a bold vision to solidify its position as the nation's leading integrated ports and logistics company. The company has set an ambitious target of expanding its cargo-handling capacity to a staggering 400 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by the fiscal year 2030. To achieve this goal, JSWIL plans to invest a substantial sum of Rs 30,000 crores over the next five years.
To realize its ambitious growth plan, JSWIL has outlined several key initiatives. These include capacity enhancements at existing ports like Jaigarh, Dharamtar, and Goa, as well as the development of new greenfield ports in strategic locations such as Jatadhar, Keni, and Murbe. Additionally, the company is actively pursuing logistics integration strategies, including acquisitions like Navkar Corporation and the development of slurry pipeline projects. These initiatives are aimed at creating a robust end-to-end logistics network that can cater to the diverse needs of its customers.
While JSWIL continues to benefit from its strong association with the JSW Group, it has also made significant strides in diversifying its customer base. The share of third-party cargo has surged from a mere 5 per cent in FY19 to an impressive 48 per cent in the first half of FY25. By expanding its customer base, JSWIL aims to enhance its operational stability and profitability. Furthermore, the company is committed to sustainable development and has pledged to reduce its direct greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
