Mundra Port, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Indian port to handle over 200 million metric tons (MMT) of cargo in a single fiscal year. This remarkable feat underscores the growing importance of Mundra Port as a key trade hub in India.

Record-Breaking Performance
In March 2025, APSEZ recorded its highest-ever monthly cargo handling at 41.5 MMT, marking a 9% year-over-year increase. This surge was primarily driven by a 19% rise in container cargo and a 5% increase in liquid and gas shipments. The company’s overall cargo volume for FY25 reached 450.2 MMT, reflecting a 7% year-over-year growth.
Strategic Significance
Mundra Port’s achievement highlights India’s rising logistics capabilities and positions APSEZ as a leader in the port and logistics sector. The company’s vision aligns with India’s broader economic goals, including reducing logistics costs and increasing merchandise exports4. APSEZ aims to become the world’s largest port operator by 2030 and has already expanded its global footprint with operations in several international ports.
Future Prospects
As India’s largest port operator, APSEZ is poised for continued expansion. The company’s growth strategy focuses on infrastructure enhancement, technology adoption, and operational excellence. With a strong financial performance, including a revenue growth of 15.08% in the December 2024 quarter, APSEZ is well-positioned to achieve its ambitious goals.
