Strength
Here are some of the strengths of India’s 2nd largest commercial port operator in India:
- JSW Infrastructure is the most rapidly growing port infrastructure company in terms of cargo capacity growth and cargo volumes from Fiscal 2012 to Fiscal 2023. It is also the 2nd largest commercial port operator in the country.
- Its strategically located Port Concessions on India’s west and east coasts offer excellent connectivity to industrial and mineral-rich regions, enabling importers and exporters to save costs due to their proximity to major shipping routes.
- Port concessions typically last 30 to 50 years. Jaigarh Port in Maharashtra was awarded a 50-year concession in 2008, while Dharamtar Port (Maharashtra) and other major port terminals have 30-year concessions. This ensures stable income at the company’s ports.
- JWS Infrastructure Ltd has become the leading maritime infrastructure firm operating multi-cargo ports and terminals in India. It can handle a variety of cargo from dry bulk to liquid bulk, LPG, LNG and containers, including coal, iron ore, sugar, products from steel and others.
Risks Involved
Along with the strengths, investors should also be aware of the company’s risks to make a responsible decision:
- The company depends on concessions and licence agreements with governmental and quasi-governmental entities for its operations and expansion. Violation of these terms may result in termination, potentially harming the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flows.
- Its subsidiary South West Port Limited was granted environment clearance regarding the expansion of its capacity. However, the subsidiary is now facing challenges in the National Green Tribunal and other ongoing litigation. Negative results in these cases could affect their business, operational results, financial condition, and cash flow.
