Adani Ports reports 11% YoY cargo volume growth in September

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), India’s largest port developer and operator, handled a total of 41.6 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) of cargo, marking an 11% year-on-year (YoY) growth compared to the 37.5 MMT handled in September of the previous year.

According to the company’s regulatory filing, this surge was primarily driven by the resilient container segment, which grew 14% YoY during the month.

For the first half of FY26, the company recorded its highest port cargo volume at 244.2 MMT, up 11% YoY. Container cargo continued to lead growth, jumping 20% YoY in the six-month period.

Beyond port operations, the company’s performance in logistics rail volumes in September 2025 hitting 60,640 TEUs, a 22% YoY increase, though General Purpose Wagon Investment Scheme (GPWIS) volume remained largely flat at 1.63 MMT.

For the first half of the fiscal year, logistics operations reached an all-time high, as rail volume was up 15% YoY to 358,406 TEUs, and H1 FY26 GPWIS volume rose 3% YoY to 10.98 MMT.

This operational efficiency was strongly mirrored in the company's financial results for the preceding quarter. In Q1 FY26, APSEZ's consolidated net profit rose 6.5% to ₹3,314.6 crore (₹33.146 billion), compared to ₹3,112.8 crore (₹31.128 billion) a year earlier.

Furthermore, revenue from operations showed an explosive jump of 31.2% YoY to ₹9,126.1 crore (₹91.261 billion) in the June 2025 quarter, reflecting robust growth across all business verticals and reinforcing the company's position as a dominant integrated transport utility.

Adani operates ports in India using a build-operate-transfer (BOT) model, where they develop port facilities and manage them under concession from the government for a specified time.

APSEZ has a national network of 13 ports, including Mundra, Gangavaram, and Krishnapatnam, equipped with modern cargo-handling technology.
