Mundra Port Becomes First in India to Cross 200 MMT Cargo Mark

Mundra Port in Gujarat has made history by becoming the first Indian port to handle over 200 million metric tonnes (MMT) of annual cargo in a financial year, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) announced on Wednesday. The port handled 200.7 MMT of cargo during FY 2024-25, setting a new national benchmark.

APSEZ’s Record-Breaking Performance APSEZ, India’s largest private port operator, reported a total cargo volume of 450.2 MMT across all its ports in FY25, reflecting a 7% year-on-year growth. The surge was primarily driven by container traffic, which grew 20% YoY, along with a 9% increase in liquid and gas cargo.

March 2025 was a record-breaking month for APSEZ, with the company handling 41.5 MMT, marking its highest-ever monthly cargo volume and a 9% YoY growth. Container volumes rose 19%, while liquid and gas cargo grew 5%.

Additionally, Vizhinjam Port crossed the 100,000 TEUs milestone in March, further strengthening APSEZ’s position in the sector.

Key Contributors to Mundra’s Milestone APSEZ credited Mundra’s West Basin, Liquid Terminal, and railway operations for pushing the port past the 200 MMT mark. The Adani International Container Terminal Pvt Ltd at Mundra handled a record 33.05 lakh containers, surpassing last year’s 31.49 lakh. The Liquid Terminal processed 8.73 MMT, the highest since FY 2010-11.

Mundra’s railway operations also set a new record, operating 20,578 trains, surpassing the previous best of 20,149 trains. The West Basin alone processed 3.76 MMT of cargo in March 2025, making it the highest monthly volume of the fiscal year.

The port also set a new benchmark in bulk cargo handling speed, discharging 60,489.4 MT of pet coke from MV AMIS RESPECT in just 17 hours.

Resilience Amid Global Challenges Despite a challenging global trade environment marked by geopolitical tensions, rising tariffs, and supply chain disruptions, APSEZ demonstrated resilience and adaptability, emerging stronger in FY25.

With Mundra’s rapid expansion and operational efficiency, APSEZ continues to reinforce its position as India’s premier port operator, setting new industry benchmarks in cargo handling and logistics efficiency.
