Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) handled a record 50 million tonnes of cargo in August, marking its highest monthly throughput to date.
The company’s cargo volumes rose 19% year-on-year from 41.9 million tonnes in August last year. Growth was supported by stronger domestic economic activity, rising container trade and a diversified cargo mix.
Dry cargo volumes increased 25% year-on-year, while container volumes rose 15%. Coal, iron ore, limestone and other minerals also contributed to the growth.
APSEZ’s international operations added to the gains, with North Queensland Export Terminal in Australia contributing to volumes and Colombo West International Terminal in Sri Lanka continuing its ramp-up.
Major assets including Mundra, Krishnapatnam and Dar es Salaam also recorded growth.
The August record follows 43.1 million tonnes in April, 48.3 million tonnes in May, 46.8 million tonnes in June and 46.3 million tonnes in July.
Cumulative cargo handled during the first five months of FY27 reached 234.4 million tonnes, up 16% from the same period last year. Dry cargo increased 17%, while container volumes rose 15%.
APSEZ is targeting annual cargo handling of 1 billion tonnes by FY31, supported by its expanding network of ports, marine services and logistics operations.
