JSW Infrastructure wins Rs 740 crore Kolkata port project under PPP model
JSW Infrastructure Limited, India's second-largest private port operator, announced on Monday, July 7, that it has received a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Authority for the redevelopment of container facilities at Netaji Subhash Dock, Kolkata.
The project involves the reconstruction of Berth No. 8 and mechanization of Berths 7 and 8 at the dock under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) model through public-private partnership (PPP). Key highlights of the project: Concession period: 30 years.
Estimated capex: ₹740 crore.
Construction timeline: 2 years.
The company can begin operations even during the construction phase to leverage Kolkata's steady cargo volumes.
The development aligns with the Indian government's port privatization initiative.
Post completion, the project is expected to enhance both the container-handling capacity and operational efficiency at the port. The investment also marks a milestone in JSW Infrastructure's strategy to diversify its cargo portfolio, particularly in the container segment.
With this addition, JSW's total container-handling capacity is expected to reach close to 1 million TEUs, strengthening its presence on both the eastern and western coasts of India. On the west coast, JSW operates the New Mangalore Container Terminal, which is being expanded from 0.2 million TEUs to 0.35 million TEUs. About JSW Infrastructure
JSW Infrastructure, part of the JSW Group, operates twelve ports and terminals across India and has an international presence with a liquid storage terminal in Fujairah, UAE. The company is targeting a total cargo-handling capacity of 400 million tonnes per annum by 2030, and recently acquired Navkar Corp to strengthen its last-mile logistics capabilities.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and ESG standards while continuing its strategic expansion.

Patanjali Foods' wild honey batch cleared for sale as Ladakh authority revokes prohibition order
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 10, 2025, 11:29 IST Shares of Patanjali Foods Limited may come into focus after the company informed the exchanges that the prohibition order on the sale of a batch of its Patanjali Organic Wild Honey has been revoked. In a filing to BSE and NSE dated July 10, 2025, the company stated that the Office of the Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety, Drugs & Food Control Organization, Kargil, UT Ladakh, has withdrawn its earlier order prohibiting the sale of a particular batch of Patanjali Organic Wild Honey. The earlier prohibition was imposed after the primary laboratory reportedly found the batch to be non-compliant with food safety standards. However, the company clarified that the batch was subject to a review by an appellate (referral) laboratory, which has now confirmed that the batch complies with the Food Safety and Standards (Contaminants, Toxins and Residues) Regulations, 2011, and is safe for consumption. The order revoking the prohibition was issued on July 9, 2025, and is effective immediately. 'This is for your information and records please,' the company said in the filing signed by Company Secretary Ramji Lal Gupta. The development removes a regulatory overhang on the company's food products and comes as a relief after the earlier adverse finding.
