The nation’s leading port developer and operator marks a defining milestone in its
journey and in India’s infrastructure boom.
• From a single port-led vision in 1998 to a network of 19 ports and terminals, APSEZ
has built one of India’s most critical integrated transport and logistics platforms.
• The milestone reinforces APSEZ’s long-term ambition to power India’s trade,
industrial expansion and global competitiveness with a clear line of sight to 1 billion
tonnes by 2030.
Ahmedabad, 1 April 2026: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ), India’s largest
integrated transport utility and the nation’s leading port developer and operator, today announced that it has
surpassed the landmark milestone of 500 million tonnes of cargo handled.
This achievement marks a defining moment in APSEZ’s evolution and underscores the growing strength of
India’s infrastructure-led transformation. More than a scale milestone, it reflects the rise of a world-class
logistics platform built on long-term conviction, operational discipline, and national purpose.
From a single port-led vision in 1998 to a network spanning 19 ports and terminals across India and beyond,
APSEZ has grown into a critical enabler of India’s trade, industrial growth and global competitiveness.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, said “Ports are not merely
gateways for trade, they are gateways to national confidence, competitiveness and destiny. I am grateful to
our customers, partners, and every member of the APSEZ family whose dedication and belief have made
this milestone possible. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Central and State Governments
whose policy and commitment to infrastructure have helped create the foundation on which APSEZ has
grown.
“APSEZ crossing 500 million tonnes is a signal of our decades-long confidence in the India growth story.
Over the years, we have built not just ports, but an unparalleled interconnected transport and logistics
platform spanning ports, rail, roads, trucking, warehouses, and cargo gateways. APSEZ's best is ahead of
us. And the best of India is ahead of her,” he added.
The journey to 500 million tonnes is also a story of compounding scale and execution. While APSEZ took
16 years to reach its first 100 million tonnes, each subsequent 100 million tonnes has been added faster
than the last, reflecting the increasing scale, efficiency, resilience and strategic depth of its platform.
