12 Mar 2025 CW Team

Industry and Market Outlook India’s port and logistics sector is witnessing unprecedented growth, fuelled by increased trade volumes, infrastructure modernisation, and government initiatives like Gati Shakti and Maritime Vision 2030. As the backbone of India’s global trade, ports play a crucial role in economic expansion, and ADSEZ, with its extensive port network and hinterland connectivity, is set to be a key beneficiary.

The company’s plan to handle 800-850 MMT of domestic cargo by 2030 aligns with India’s rising export-import demand and industrial growth. Additionally, its diversification into logistics and international port operations strengthens its competitive edge.

As India continues its rapid development trajectory, the company's aggressive expansion and investment in global trade hubs underscore its potential to emerge as a dominant force in both domestic and international markets.
