India\u2019s<\/strong> JSW wants majority control of Oman\u2019s new port SPV:<\/strong> JSW Overseas, a subsidiary of India\u2019s second-largest private commercial port operator, inked a definitive agreement to acquire a 51% stake in Omani special-purpose vehicle South Minerals Port Company (SAOC) from state-owned Minerals Development Oman (MDO) for an undisclosed sum, ScanX Trade<\/a> reports. JSW will nab the equity via a fresh capital subscription into the newly-formed special purpose vehicle (SPV) \u2014 leaving MDO with the remaining 49%. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

Tied to a new port built in Dhofar: <\/strong>SAOC will build and operate a USD 419 mn bulk-minerals port in Oman\u2019s Dhofar governorate, 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 1H 2029. <\/p>\n

Currently pending clearances: <\/strong>Completion is 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.<\/p>\n

The pitch: <\/strong>The move marks JSW\u2019s entry into Oman\u2019s port infrastructure sector and forms 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. <\/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 leg to the firm\u2019s expansion efforts.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in it for Oman: <\/strong>The project would bring foreign capital into Oman\u2019s mineral-export corridors and supports Dhofar\u2019s push to widen its economic base beyond hydrocarbons. A dedicated bulk-minerals port gives the Sultanate a way 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

Minerals angle:<\/strong> This development aids JSW to strategically leverage Oman's substantial mineral reserves, which are critical inputs for its steel and cement businesses in India while securing a long-term supply security. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
