Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), India's port developer and operator, has announced operational results, reporting 40.2 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo handled in October 2025. This marks a 6% rise compared to the 37.9 MMT reported in October 2024.
The primary driver of this growth was a substantial 24% year-over-year (YoY) surge in container volumes, highlighting strong recovery and performance in the high-value container segment.
For the year-to-date (YTD) period ending October 2025, APSEZ has maintained strong momentum, handling a total of 284.4 MMT of port cargo, achieving a 10% YoY increase. This YTD performance was also led by containers, which posted an impressive 21% YoY growth.
In the logistics segment, performance was mixed but largely positive. Logistics rail volume during October 2025 stood at 60,387 TEUs, a 16% YoY increase.
The YTD figure for logistics rail volume also showed strong growth, reaching 418,793 TEUs, up 15% YoY. Conversely, GPWIS (General Purpose Wagon Investment Scheme) volume was 1.7 MMT in October, reflecting a 6% YoY decrease. However, on a YTD basis, GPWIS volume remained positive at 12.7 MMT, a 1% YoY increase.
Last month the company handled a total of 41.6 MMT of cargo, marking an 11% year-on-year (YoY) growth.
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.
