JSW Infrastructure wins Murbe Port deal

JSW Infrastructure has secured the prestigious Rs 4,259 crore contract to develop the Murbe Port in Maharashtra, marking a significant step in boosting coastal shipping and enhancing the state's maritime infrastructure. This deal comes as one of the final major decisions by the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government, reflecting the state's commitment to strengthening its strategic port network and increasing its role in national and international trade.

Murbe Port, a greenfield development project, is expected to improve Maharashtra’s logistics and trade capabilities by providing a world-class facility that can handle large-scale cargo operations. Strategically located along the state’s coastline, the port will be designed to enhance cargo movement efficiency, reduce transportation costs, and foster economic growth across the region. The development aligns with India’s broader goal to enhance port infrastructure and increase the capacity for maritime trade.

JSW Infrastructure, a part of the JSW Group, has been actively expanding its portfolio in the logistics and port sectors, and this new project further solidifies its position as a leader in port development. With Murbe Port, the company aims to integrate cutting-edge technology and operational efficiency, creating a modern port facility that can handle significant cargo volumes while supporting sustainable practices.

This investment is expected to generate substantial economic benefits for the region, including job creation and an improved coastal shipping network that will facilitate better connectivity between Maharashtra and other key regions in India. Additionally, the Murbe Port project underlines Maharashtra’s ambition to play a central role in India's growing maritime economy, supporting both domestic and international trade.
