!_Anchor03_<\/strong>! India\u2019s JSW is close to majority control of new Omani minerals terminal:<\/strong> JSW Infrastructure inked a definitive agreement to acquire a 51% stake in a bulk-minerals terminal in Oman\u2019s Dhofar governorate, CNBC TV 18<\/a> reports. Under the agreement with state-owned Minerals Development Oman (MDO), JSW\u2019s subsidiary JSW Overseas will take up a 51% stake in the Omani special-purpose vehicle (SPV) South Minerals Port Company (SAOC), which is set to build and operate the USD 419 mn terminal. <\/p>\n

Transaction details: <\/strong>JSW will nab the 51% equity via a fresh capital subscription into the newly-formed SPV \u2014 leaving MDO with the remaining 49%. Completion is still subject to customary regulatory approvals in Oman, with the SPV structure isolating project risk and enabling the port to be financed on the basis of long-term mineral throughput agreements. The size of the transaction was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

The plan: <\/strong>The new terminal is designed to handle 27 mn tons of cargo per year, including exports of limestone, gypsum, and dolomite from MDO-linked concessions. Construction is expected to run for about 36 months, with commercial operations due in 1H 2029. <\/p>\n

The pitch: <\/strong>The move marks JSW\u2019s entry into Oman\u2019s port infrastructure sector and is part of the company\u2019s plan to lift cargo-handling capacity to 400 mn tons per annum (mtpa) by 2030 \u2014 up from 177 mtpa currently. The port\u2019s mineral flows also align with JSW\u2019s downstream needs, as these inputs are critical to India-based steel and cement industries. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>JSW Infrastructure has also been considering roughly USD 420 mn<\/a> in capacity upgrades at its Jaigarh and Dharamtar terminals in India, with the Oman transaction effectively adding an international component to the firm\u2019s expansion efforts.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s in it for Oman? <\/strong>The project would bring foreign capital into Oman\u2019s mineral-export corridors and support Dhofar\u2019s push to widen its economic base beyond hydrocarbons. A dedicated bulk-minerals port will also support the Sultanate's efforts to monetize its limestone, gypsum, and dolomite resources more efficiently, shifting more value into Omani infrastructure rather than relying solely on raw-material concessions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
