APSEZ marks a proud chapter in India’s export history, as Mundra Port has achieved a remarkable milestone. From the state-of-the-art Ro-Ro terminal of Adani Ports Mundra, a total of 6,548 cars were loaded in a single shipment onto the automobile carrier vessel ‘Morning Post’, setting a national record. With this achievement, Mundra Port has become the first and only port in the country to successfully load such a large number of cars at once.
These vehicles are primarily being exported to international markets such as Chile, Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Uruguay, among others, further strengthening India’s presence in global automobile trade.
This accomplishment is not just a number, but a reflection of India’s growing industrial strength, reliable logistics capabilities, and rising global export potential.
Contributing most of the country’s total cargo handling, Mundra Port is today India’s largest commercial port. Handling capacity more than 264 million metric tonnes of cargo annually, the facility is not just a port but the beating heart of India’s import-export ecosystem. Across diverse sectors such as coal, crude oil, containers, fertilizers, steel, and automobiles, Mundra Port accelerates the nation’s supply chain.
In particular, it has emerged as a strong link in enabling ‘Make in India’ vehicles to reach global markets swiftly, securely, and efficiently.
Strategically located in the Gulf of Kutch, Mundra Port benefits from a natural deep draft, all-weather operations, and proximity to major shipping routes connecting theMiddle East, Africa, and Europe. This unique positioning significantly reduces transit time and logistics costs for shipping companies.
Its robust connectivity through the Dedicated Freight Corridor and national highways seamlessly links industrial hubs of North and West India to global markets. As a result, Mundra Port is not only a matter of pride for Kutch but has also emerged as a strategic powerhouse on India’s trade map.
This historic record has been made possible through the advanced infrastructure of Adani Ports’ Ro-Ro terminal, supported by automated yard management systems and highly efficient operations. The terminal has the capacity to handle millions of vehicles annually, reinforcing India’s vision of becoming a global automobile export hub.
This achievement provides renewed momentum to initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Maritime India Vision 2030’. It sends a clear message that India is no longer just a manufacturing hub, but a confident global export powerhouse backed by world-class logistics capabilities.
Adani Ports Mundra remains committed to driving India’s economic growth to new heights through innovation, speed, and operational excellence.
