Adani Ports Cargo Rises 9 per cent in December on Container Growth

Led by an 18 per cent year-on-year rise in container traffic, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) handled 41.9 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in December 2025, marking a 9 per cent increase from a year earlier.

In a regulatory filing, the company said total cargo handled year-to-date to December 2025 stood at 367.3 MMT, reflecting an 11 per cent year-on-year growth. Container volumes were the primary growth driver during the period.

Logistics rail volumes in December 2025 were flat at 59,037 TEUs compared with the same month last year, while volumes under the general purpose wagon investment scheme (GPWIS) declined 7 per cent year-on-year to 1.8 MMT. On a year-to-date basis, logistics rail volumes rose 11 per cent to 528,872 TEUs, while GPWIS volumes reached 16.1 MMT.

Separately, the Adani Group last year barred tankers sanctioned by Western countries from entering any of its ports, a move that could impact Russian crude oil deliveries to Indian refiners. The group’s internal orders state that sanctioned vessels will not be permitted entry, berthing or access to port services, and require agents to provide written confirmation that ships are not under sanctions, citing the need to protect the legal and commercial interests of the ports.

HPCL-Mittal Energy, which operates the 226,000 barrels-per-day Bathinda refinery in Punjab, receives all its crude shipments at Adani’s Mundra Port in Gujarat. Indian Oil Corporation, the country’s largest refiner, has also imported Russian crude through Mundra along with other ports in recent years.
