JSW Infrastructure Q1 profit falls, revenue climbs
In Q1 FY27, JSW Infrastructure posted revenue up 18% to ₹1,444.8 crore but net profit declined 8.2% to ₹357.6 crore as rising costs compressed margins to about 46.6%, with cargo volumes up 6% to 31 million tonnes driven by Jaigarh Port and other terminals, though Fujairah Liquid Terminal faced volume pressure amid West Asia headwinds. The company completed a ₹7,503 crore QIP, strengthening its balance sheet and creating a large liquidity cushion as it pursues a ₹39,000 crore capex plan including port projects and logistics expansions. In the June quarter, consolidated revenue stood at ₹1,445 crore with a net profit around ₹347 crore, underscoring steady operational momentum as the group continues to scale its network. JSW Infrastructure remains focused on doubling cargo handling capacity to 400 MTPA by 2030, backed by greenfield and brownfield developments such as Jatadhar Port and the Slurry Pipeline, as well as continued capex tied to its growth strategy. The QIP deleverages the balance sheet and funds debt reduction and capacity expansion, signaling a deliberate shift in financial strategy to support aggressive growth while profits face cost pressures. Overall, the company’s revenue growth and improved liquidity position coexist with margin compression, highlighting a strategic push to expand capacity while managing financing risks.
