Adani Ports and SEZ Drives Growth through Expansion and Diversification

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) reported strong performance in FY25, reinforcing its leadership in India’s port and logistics sector. The company handled approximately 27 per cent of India’s total cargo and 45 per cent of container cargo as of March 2025. Containers formed an increasing share of the cargo mix, rising to 42 per cent in FY25 from 37 per cent the previous year.

With an estimated cargo handling target of 505–515 million metric tonne (MMT) for FY26, APSEZ is betting on growth beyond national cargo volume trends. It projects 1.5 to 2 times higher growth than the industry average, supported by strategic capacity expansions and improved logistics connectivity.

The company has committed Rs 120 billion in capital expenditure for FY26. Major allocations include domestic ports (Rs 60 billion), international projects in Colombo and Tanzania (Rs 20 billion), marine services (Rs 6.2 billion), logistics (Rs 20 billion), and tech and sustainability initiatives (Rs 13.8 billion).

APSEZ is expanding aggressively overseas. Operations have commenced at Sri Lanka’s Colombo West International Terminal and a 30-year concession was secured at Dar es Salaam Port, Tanzania. The acquisition of Australia’s Abbot Point Port marks a strategic move to boost cargo handling in the Asia-Pacific region.

Domestically, the company launched Vizhinjam, India’s first fully automated transshipment port, and acquired Gopalpur Port. Meanwhile, its logistics and marine services arms continue to scale up, enhancing integrated service offerings.

APSEZ anticipates a 10 per cent cargo volume growth over FY25–27, underpinned by sustained infrastructure investments and a balanced cargo mix.
