India Car Exports Drive Global Recognition At Mundra

Newzdaddy Business Updates

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), India’s leading port and logistics company, has achieved a new milestone by loading 5,612 cars onto a single vessel in one cargo operation at its Mundra Port RoRo Terminal. This remarkable feat was accomplished in under 40 hours, surpassing the previous record of 5,405 cars set on June 14, 2022.

RoRo (Roll On – Roll Off) terminals are specialised ports that allow wheeled cargo (like cars, trucks) to be driven on and off the ship directly. Such terminals require meticulous planning, effective ramp design, and stringent safety procedures. Many global ports utilise Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) methods to expedite vehicle exports.

To achieve this milestone, the team meticulously managed the wharfing and storage of export units, optimising yard capacity despite simultaneous operations of other commodity vessels. Adhering strictly to safety protocols, the team executed wharfing operations with utmost urgency, breaking the car handling record.

Yard space optimisation is a key challenge in ports. In many large ports, vertical stacking, efficient spacing, and real-time tracking are used to manage space. Also, safety protocols ensure vehicles do not get damaged and workers stay safe during fast operations.

This accomplishment highlights the strength of India’s port and logistics infrastructure, the resilience of the automobile sector, and the efficiency of its supply chain.

India’s ports sector has been expanding its capacity. APSEZ itself manages multiple ports across India and has invested in modern infrastructure. Supply chain efficiency has become more important as India pushes for higher exports.

Through Adani Ports’ advanced RO-RO (Roll In – Roll Out) facility, cars manufactured in India are being exported to numerous countries, including South Africa, Australia, Belgium, France, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, Mauritius, and the Gulf, marking a proud moment for the nation.

India’s top car export destinations include South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and some European nations.
Adani Ports Mundra takes immense pride in contributing to India’s development and boosting exports. The automobile sector’s growing presence in the global market underscores India’s significant role. Increasing exports have positioned Adani Ports Mundra as a key hub for automobile exports. Mundra Port is India’s largest commercial port and one of the deepest ports. In 2024-25, Mundra handled over 16.1 million metric tonnes of cargo in a record, showing its scale.

As a gateway to national progress, Adani Mundra Port is proud to enhance India’s export capabilities. The port stands as a symbol of the country’s economic growth and development, playing a pivotal role in establishing India as a global economic hub.

India aims to boost its manufacturing and exports under schemes like “Make in India.” The ports and logistics network is vital in enabling India to become more competitive globally. Also, the government has been pushing policies to reduce logistics costs.

APSEZ’s cutting-edge infrastructure, advanced technological capabilities, and efficient systems have enabled it to exceed expectations and deliver world-class services to its customers. The company remains committed to driving growth and creating opportunities to strengthen India’s economy.
