JSW Infrastructure has huge potential to grow its business: Sajjan Jindal
Commercial ports operator JSW Infrastructure, which got listed on the bourses on Tuesday, said it has a huge potential to grow its business and aims to become a global company, JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal has said.
Speaking at the listing event, Jindal cited the example of Singapore and said that it is a City-State and handles more cargo than all of India. "We can also create such ports which handle not just our own cargo but also of the countries around us," he said.
"We cannot think only India centric, we have to think global and we have to really build ourselves as a global company. So we have to really think at those levels," he said.
Jindal further said that India has a large coastline and logistics cost in the country is among the highest in the world.
"The cost of transporting goods in India is the highest, So JSW Infra has a huge potential to grow its business to create what the government has created, CONCOR," Jindal said.
A Public Sector Undertaking, CONCOR (Container Corporation of India) provides total logistics solutions for containerised cargo.
