India: JSW Infrastructure Commissions New 18 MnT Iron Ore Terminal at Paradip Port

JSW Infrastructure announced yesterday that it commissioned a new iron ore terminal at the Paradip Port in Odisha.

The 370-metre long terminal with a capacity of 18 MnT of cargoes pa is set up to handle cape-size vessels for iron ore and pellet exports and can load at a rate of 100,000 MT per day.

It is expected that the higher load rate may help the pre-berthing delays at the port.

The Joint MD and CEO of JSW Infrastructure Arun Maheshwari said, "With the commissioning of this terminal, India can now offer cape size shipments. The capacities of this new terminal would be far better than any other Indian port and also many international ports. This will help boost competitiveness of customers as well as Paradip Port."

The company has invested INR 750 crore in the construction of the new Paradip iron ore terminal.

With the commissioning of this new terminal, the JSW Infrastructure current capacity has crossed 100 MnT pa.
