JSW Infrastructure Share Price Target at Rs 370: Motilal Oswal

JSW Infrastructure, the logistics and port development arm of the JSW Group, continues to chart an ambitious growth trajectory. Motilal Oswal has reaffirmed its BUY recommendation for the stock, with a revised target price of Rs 370, implying a potential upside of 26% from current levels. The firm’s 4QFY25 performance reinforces the resilience of its business model and the scalability of its logistics expansion. With improving cargo volumes, a successful integration of Navkar Corporation, and robust capex plans, JSWINFRA appears well-positioned to ride India’s infrastructure growth wave.

Strong Year-End Performance Validates Long-Term Strategy

JSW Infrastructure posted consolidated revenue of Rs 12.8 billion in Q4FY25, marking a 17% YoY growth. This performance was supported by cargo handling of 31.2 million tons, a 5% YoY rise, driven by robust coal terminal throughput and new contributions from the Tuticorin and JNPA terminals.

EBITDA rose 10% YoY to Rs 6.4 billion, with margins at 49.9%, slightly lower YoY but up sequentially. Net adjusted PAT came in at Rs 4.4 billion, up 19% YoY, bolstered by lower tax outgo. For the full year, revenue grew 19% to Rs 44.8 billion, while adjusted PAT increased 22% to Rs 14.5 billion.

Third-Party Volumes and Port Capacity Expansion Fuel Growth

JSW Infrastructure continues to balance its own cargo with third-party operations. In Q4FY25, third-party volumes grew 11% YoY, contributing 50% to total cargo—up from 47% in the previous year.

Expansion projects at Jaigarh, Dharamtar, Goa, and other key ports are expected to boost port capacity to 400 MTPA by FY30. The company also plans significant upgrades to its slurry pipeline, terminals, and logistics infrastructure.

Logistics Business Set for Exponential Growth

Post the Navkar Corporation acquisition, JSWINFRA is aiming for 50% growth in logistics revenue in FY26, supported by Rs 15 billion capex earmarked for the segment. It plans to scale its logistics revenue to Rs 80 billion by FY30, with a target EBITDA margin of 25%.

Asset-light expansion through Gati Shakti terminals

Bottomline: A Strategic Port-Led Play with Strong Upside

Investors seeking to capitalize on India's logistics surge and trade expansion may find JSWINFRA an attractive port-led infrastructure play. However, timely execution of projects and third-party cargo stability will remain key watchpoints going forward.
