History

Jaigarh Port is operated by JSW Jaigarh Port, an SPV of JSW Infrastructure. The Company was created to develop the port, on a build-own-operate-share-transfer (BOOST) basis, under a 50-year concession licensed by the State Government of Maharashtra.

JSW Jaigarh Port started operations in 2009 by handling coal import vessels for JSW Energy's thermal power plant located at Jaigarh.

True to the vision of the Group, JSW Jaigarh Port has since expanded its commercial operations to service the requirements of various other industries as well.
