Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ), India’s largest integrated ports and logistics operator, has once again demonstrated strong operational performance by handling 40.2 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in October 2025    marking a 6 per cent increase compared to the same month last year. This growth was primarily driven by an impressive 24 per cent rise in container volumes, signaling robust trade momentum and sustained demand recovery.

During the April–October 2025 period, APSEZ managed a total of 284.4 MMT of cargo, reflecting a 10 per cent year-on-year growth. Container volumes during the seven-month period surged by 21 per cent, highlighting the company’s expanding efficiency across its key ports and the resilience of India’s maritime trade ecosystem.

In its logistics business, APSEZ reported a notable 16 per cent year-on-year increase in rail volumes in October, reaching 60,387 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). However, the grain, pulse, and fertiliser (GPWIS) segment saw a marginal decline, handling 1.7 MMT    down 6 per cent from the previous year.

For the April–October 2025 period, logistics rail volumes stood at 4,18,793 TEUs, marking a 15 per cent rise year-on-year, while GPWIS volumes showed a modest 1 per cent uptick to 12.7 MMT. These figures reflect a stable and consistent performance in the bulk commodities segment, supported by strong infrastructure and logistics integration.

The continued rise in cargo and container handling further cements Adani Ports’ leadership in India’s maritime industry. With a diversified cargo portfolio, growing hinterland connectivity, and strategic focus on efficiency, APSEZ continues to play a pivotal role in powering India’s trade growth and enhancing its global logistics competitiveness.
