JSW Infra: Expansion Plans Prudent; Valuation Multiples Remain Elevated

By Rahul Jain

  • Strong FY25 growth, but bulk cargo (~90%) dominates, keeping revenue per ton lower versus peers.
  • Targeting 10% volume and 50% logistics growth by FY27, with heavy CAPEX and Navkar integration focus.
  • Trades at ~28x EV/EBITDA, ~40x P/E — far higher than Adani Ports; promoter dilution likely to meet public float norms.
