    Mundra Port, Adani’s crown jewel, remains the busiest and most efficient port in India. It alone handled 43 MMT of cargo, contributing nearly 40% of total volumes.

The company is also making strong progress in automating operations, which is improving efficiency and reducing costs.

  1. Growth in the Logistics Business
    Adani Ports isn’t just about ports anymore. Its logistics segment (rail, warehouses, and inland transport) recorded a revenue of ₹618 crore, which is a massive 35% jump from the previous year.

  • Green ports
  • Automation
