GENMA Secures Order for 3 STS and 9 RTG Cranes from JSW Kolkata Terminal - a JSW Infrastructure Ltd

GENMA has recently been awarded a contract by JSW Kolkata Container Terminal Pvt Limited, a subsidiary of JSW Infrastructure Ltd, to supply three STS and nine RTG cranes. The project marks another undertaking in which GENMA will apply its highly customized solutions to navigate complex delivery conditions.

JSW Kolkata Container Terminal is part of JSW Infrastructure Ltd., India's second-largest private commercial port operator. The group has been strategically expanding its presence along both the eastern and western coasts of India with a focus on efficient and environmentally sustainable port infrastructure. The Kolkata terminal project represents a further strategic extension of JSW Infrastructure's footprint into eastern India.

Under the current project schedule, the crane deliveries are set to commence in 2027. Unlike conventional seaport deliveries, the Kolkata terminal is situated along an inland waterway, where access for transport vessels is regulated by lock gates. As a result, the cranes will need to be shipped in multiple batches using smaller-tonnage vessels—a requirement that adds considerable complexity to both shipment planning and on-site coordination.

In addition, the project team must factor the monsoon season into the overall execution timeline, ensuring that critical installation milestones are achieved within limited weather windows.

"While this project presents distinct challenges—ranging from strict vessel size restrictions to the need for precise monsoon avoidance during on-site work—it also underscores GENMA's proven capabilities in delivering tailored engineering solutions and end-to-end project management," said Rajendra Patil, Regional Sales Director at GENMA.

As per JSW Group sustainability policy, operation and product strategy, evaluating long-term environmental impact with a forward-looking perspective is key. This also aligns closely with GENMA’s ongoing commitment to green design and energy-efficient technologies in crane manufacturing. "Being selected as a preferred supplier for a customer with such exacting standards is a clear affirmation of our comprehensive strengths," he added.
