JSW Infrastructure has reported an 8.7 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to INR 364.85 crore for the third quarter of FY26, aided by higher income, lower expenses and improved cargo handling volumes. The company had recorded a net profit of INR 335.62 crore in the corresponding October-December quarter of the previous financial year.


According to the company, total income during the quarter increased to INR 1,409.38 crore from INR 1,265.31 crore a year ago. At the same time, expenses declined to INR 962.97 crore from INR 989.40 crore, providing additional support to margins.

During the quarter, JSW Infrastructure handled cargo volumes of 31.7 million tonnes, marking an 8 per cent increase over last year. The volume growth was primarily driven by strong performances at the South West Port and Dharamtar Port. Interim operations at the Tuticorin terminal and the JNPA liquid terminal also contributed positively to overall throughput.

However, the company noted that growth was partially offset by lower volumes at the Paradip Iron Ore and Coal terminals. Third-party cargo volumes increased to 15.7 million tonnes from 14.3 million tonnes, representing a 10 per cent rise. The share of third-party cargo stood at 50 per cent, compared with 49 per cent in the year-ago period.

Operational EBITDA for the port segment rose 7 per cent year-on-year to INR 611 crore, compared with INR 570 crore in the same quarter last year. Domestic cargo volumes also saw a sharp rise, increasing 45 per cent year-on-year to 405,000 metric tonnes, reflecting stronger activity across domestic trade routes.
