Trilegal has advised the JSW Group on its strategic partnership with Minerals Development Oman SAOC (MDO), a state-owned mine developer in Oman. The partnership focuses on developing and operating a 27 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) greenfield port facility alongside gypsum and limestone mining operations in Oman. This collaboration is a key component of JSW Group’s global expansion strategy.

JSW Infrastructure Limited, through a wholly owned subsidiary, will acquire 51% equity in South Minerals Port Company SAOC (Port SPV), while JSW International Tradecorp Pte. Ltd., via its subsidiary, will acquire 49% equity in South Minerals Company SAOC (Mine SPV). Trilegal advised on structuring the deal, including drafting and negotiating share subscription and purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements, a framework offtake agreement for 12 MTPA of mined products, and a port services agreement covering cargo handling, storage, and loading at the port.

The port facility project, located in the Dhofar Governorate of Oman, has a capital expenditure of USD 419 million and is expected to commence commercial operations in the first half of 2029. The collaboration expands JSWIL’s global footprint by supporting mineral extraction and export infrastructure in a resource-rich region.

Trilegal’s advisory was led by Partners Deep Choudhuri, Prarthna Baranwal, and Gautam Chabra, supported by a team of senior associates, counsels, and associates.
