Adani Ports Shows Strong Growth in First Quarter of 2025

Big jump in cargo handling, logistics, marine business, and green efforts

India’s largest port operator, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), has once again shown that it is leading the way when it comes to transporting goods in and out of India. The company has announced its performance report for the first quarter of this financial year (April to June 2025), and the results are very promising.

APSEZ earned a total revenue of ₹9,126 crore in the last three months, which is 21% more than what it made during the same time last year. The company’s profits and business operations have grown across all sectors, especially in logistics and marine services.

In this quarter, Adani Ports handled 121 million tonnes of cargo, compared to 109 million tonnes last year. This is a big increase of 11%. The company’s share in India’s total cargo handling also increased slightly, which means it is becoming stronger in the Indian market.

Two new terminals were started:

• A modern, fully automatic container terminal in Colombo Port, Sri Lanka.

• A new export terminal in Dhamra Port, Odisha, India.

These new terminals will help move more containers faster and more efficiently.

APSEZ’s logistics business is growing very fast. It earned ₹1,169 crore, which is double compared of last year. The company is expanding its truck services and international freight network, which means goods can now be delivered not just across India but also to other countries.

It also received permission to begin export and import work from three new places:

• Virochannagar (Gujarat)

• Kishangarh (Rajasthan)

• Malur (Karnataka)

In the marine business, revenue jumped nearly three times to ₹541 crore, handling 118 ships this quarter. This shows that sea transport is becoming a big part of the company’s future.

Adani Ports is also doing great work for the environment. It was named a “Leader” by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for its green efforts. A big achievement is that 12 of its ports now send zero waste to landfills.

At Hazira Port, the company built India’s first steel slag road, using recycled materials. This was done with the help of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Ministry of Science & Technology.

Also, electric cranes were brought in at Netaji Subhas Dock, which means less pollution compared to diesel-powered machines.

• Haifa Port in Israel, which APSEZ owns, saw a 29% growth in business and had its best-ever quarter.

• Krishnapatnam Port handled its highest-ever cargo in June.

• Over 179,000 containers were moved by train.

• Over 6 million tonnes were moved through India’s rivers and canals.

• A record was set at Mundra Port, where 3,234 containers were handled in one day.

The company plans to buy NQXT Port in Australia. It’s a large export terminal and will help APSEZ grow globally. This will happen after approvals.

Also, the company raised money through 15-year bonds from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and started buying back some of its old foreign bonds. This helps them manage money better and reduce costs.

APSEZ and its ports won many awards:

• Mundra Port won Best Port and Best Container Terminal.

• Adani Logistics was named Logistics Champion.

• Environmental awards were won by Gangavaram, Vizhinjam, and Dhamra ports.
