This move aligns with JSW’s strategy to expand its terminal portfolio. It also supports the government’s port privatisation initiative. Moreover, the project will boost container handling capacity and efficiency. Additionally, JSW aims to diversify its cargo mix. The company already operates a terminal at New Mangalore. With Kolkata, the total capacity is nearing 1 Million-TEUs.
