APSEZ remains optimistic about achieving the upper end of its FY25 EBITDA guidance of Rs 170-180 billion, supported by strong half-yearly performance. The company also reaffirmed its FY25 cargo volume target of 460-480 mt.

“We witnessed continued growth across operations, with existing ports showing strong volume ramp-ups, while new capacity additions at Gopalpur, Vizhinjam, and Colombo are progressing as planned,” said Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO of APSEZ.

Gupta highlighted key developments during the quarter, including the diversification of APSEZ’s marine fleet with 26 offshore support vessels and robust growth in its logistics segment, which expanded last-mile connectivity through new rakes, warehouses, multi-modal logistics parks (MMLPs), and agri-silos. He also noted that Mundra Port crossed the 100 mt milestone in just 181 days, reinforcing the company’s confidence in meeting its cargo and EBITDA guidance for FY25.
