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.

Sugar Prices Close Lower on Warmer Temps in Brazil
October NY world sugar #11 (SBV25) on Tuesday closed down -0.15 (-0.92%), and August London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ25) closed down -0.90 (-0.19%). Sugar prices settled lower Tuesday and have been under pressure the past two sessions following the removal of the frost risk from weather forecasts in Brazil. Tuesday's rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1.5-week high also weighed on sugar prices.

Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! The early arrival of the monsoon season in India has bolstered the outlook for a bumper sugar crop and is a negative factor for sugar prices. On Monday, the India Meteorological Department reported that rainfall in June was 9% above normal in India and has forecast above-normal rain for July. Sugar prices have plummeted over the past three months due to expectations of a global sugar surplus. Last Wednesday, October NY sugar posted a contract low, and last Monday, the July NY sugar contract posted a 4.25-year low on the nearest-futures chart. Last Wednesday, Aug London sugar posted a 3.75-year nearest-futures low. Last Monday, commodities trader Czarnikow projected a 7.5 MMT global sugar surplus for the 2025/26 season, the largest surplus in 8 years. On May 22, the USDA, in its biannual report, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would increase by +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 million metric tons (MMT), with global sugar ending stocks at 41.188 MMT, up 7.5% year-over-year. The outlook for higher sugar production in India, the world's second-largest producer, is bearish for prices. On June 2, India's National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories projected that India's 2025/26 sugar production would climb +19% y/y to 35 MMT, citing larger planted cane acreage. The outlook for abundant rainfall in India could lead to a bumper sugar crop, which is bearish for prices. On April 15, India's Ministry of Earth Sciences projected an above-normal monsoon this year, with total rainfall forecast to be 105% of the long-term average. India's monsoon season runs from June through September. Signs of larger global sugar output are negative for prices. On May 22, the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) predicted that Brazil's 2025/26 sugar production would rise +2.3% y/y to a record 44.7 MMT. Also, India's 2025/26 sugar production is projected to rise +25% y/y to 35.3 MMT, citing favorable monsoon rains and increased sugar acreage. In addition, Thailand's 2025/26 sugar production is expected to climb +2% y/y to 10.3 MMT. In a bearish factor, the Indian government said on January 20 that it would allow its sugar mills to export 1 MMT of sugar this season, easing the restrictions placed on sugar exports in 2023. India has restricted sugar exports since October 2023 to maintain adequate domestic supplies. India allowed mills to export only 6.1 MMT of sugar during the 2022/23 season to September 30, after allowing exports of a record 11.1 MMT in the previous season. However, the ISMA projects that India's 2024/25 sugar production will fall by -17.5% y/y to a 5-year low of 26.2 MMT. Also, the ISMA reported last Monday that India's sugar production from Oct 1-May 15 was 25.74 MMT, down -17% from the same period last year. In addition, Indian Food Secretary Chopra said on May 1 that India's 2024/25 sugar exports may only total 800,000 MT, below earlier expectations of 1 MMT. The outlook for higher sugar production in Thailand is bearish for sugar prices. On May 2, Thailand's Office of the Cane and Sugar Board reported that Thailand's 2024/25 sugar production rose +14% y/y to 10.00 MMT. Thailand is the world's third-largest sugar producer and the second-largest exporter of sugar. Sugar prices have some support from reduced sugar production in Brazil. Unica reported Monday that the cumulative 2025/26 Brazil Center-South sugar output through mid-June is down by -14.6% y/y to 9.404 MMT. Last month, Conab, Brazil's government crop forecasting agency, said 2024/25 Brazil sugar production fell by -3.4% y/y to 44.118 MMT, citing lower sugarcane yields due to drought and excessive heat. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) raised its 2024/25 global sugar deficit forecast to a 9-year high of -5.47 MMT on May 15, up from a February forecast of -4.88 MMT. This indicates a tightening market following the 2023/24 global sugar surplus of 1.31 MMT. ISO also cut its 2024/25 global sugar production forecast to 174.8 MMT from a February forecast of 175.5 MMT. The USDA, in its bi-annual report released May 22, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would climb +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 MMT and that global 2025/26 human sugar consumption would increase +1.4% y/y to a record 177.921 MMT. The USDA also forecasted that 2025/26 global sugar ending stocks would climb +7.5% y/y to 41.188 MMT.
