    Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ) handled 40.2 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in October 2025, marking a 6 per cent increase over the same month last year. The growth was largely driven by a sharp 24 per cent rise in container volumes.

    During the April–October 2025 period, APSEZ managed 284.4 MMT of cargo, a 10 per cent year-on-year growth. Container volumes during the seven-month period rose 21 per cent, reflecting strong trade activity and continued demand recovery across major ports operated by the company.

    In its logistics business, APSEZ reported a 16 per cent year-on-year rise in rail volumes in October, reaching 60,387 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). However, the grain, pulse, and fertiliser (GPWIS) segment handled 1.7 MMT, down 6 per cent from a year earlier.

    For the April–October 2025 period, logistics rail volumes totalled 4,18,793 TEUs, up 15 per cent year-on-year, while GPWIS volumes edged up 1 per cent to 12.7 MMT, indicating steady performance in the bulk commodities segment.

    The continued rise in cargo and container handling underscores APSEZ’s position as India’s largest integrated ports and logistics operator, benefiting from a diversified cargo mix and expanding hinterland connectivity.
