DP World’s Mundra International Container Terminal (MICT) has reported robust performance in calendar year 2025, with throughput rising 13.6% year-on-year to nearly 1.5 million TEUs, reinforcing its position as a key gateway for India’s EXIM trade.
The growth momentum carried into early 2026, with January volumes reaching 1,46,063 TEUs and February handling 1,32,590 TEUs—both exceeding corresponding figures from the previous year. This sustained performance underscores the terminal’s growing importance in facilitating trade flows.
The expansion was supported by a 6.57% increase in vessel calls, which rose to 762 during CY25. Additionally, higher container volumes transported via rail have enhanced the terminal’s multimodal connectivity with India’s hinterland, further boosting efficiency and reach.
Operational upgrades have also played a critical role. The commissioning of a new quay crane, along with additional electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), has improved berth productivity and streamlined operations, enabling the terminal to handle increased cargo volumes more efficiently.
Commenting on the performance, Alok Mishra said the sustained double-digit growth through CY25 and continued momentum into 2026 highlight the terminal’s ability to manage rising vessel traffic and rail volumes, even amid global uncertainties. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to delivering reliable and efficient operations to support India’s expanding trade.
Strategically located, DP World Mundra is connected to major global trade routes, including the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, East and West Africa, the US East Coast, and the Mediterranean. The terminal plays a vital role in supporting Gujarat’s ambition to emerge as a global trade powerhouse.
On the sustainability front, the company is accelerating electrification across its Mundra operations. Initiatives include the deployment of electric light motor vehicles (E-LMVs), electric forklifts, and upcoming electric internal transfer vehicles (e-ITVs). The terminal has also achieved ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ certification from the National Productivity Council.
Beyond operations, DP World Mundra continues to focus on community development. Through initiatives like the Pragati Scholarship Program, it supports girl students in pursuing higher education, while two mobile medical vans provide healthcare services to around 40,000 patients annually in and around Mundra.
With a strong combination of operational excellence, sustainability initiatives, and community engagement, DP World Mundra continues to strengthen its role in driving India’s trade growth while contributing to inclusive regional development.
