As reported by ET Now, JSW Infrastructure handled 31.6 million tonnes cargo in the March quarter, representing a 1% increase over the same period a year ago. The volume growth was primarily driven by strong performance at South West Port, Dharamtar Port and Jaigarh Port, supported by higher volumes from anchor customers.

However, this growth was partially offset by lower volumes at the Fujairah facility due to Middle East conflict disruptions and cargo deferments at Indian operations during March.
