Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) is set to expand its domestic port operations with a proposed investment of Rs 30,000 crore over the next two years. The planned expenditure is more than double the earlier outlay of Rs 11,000-12,000 crore for the current fiscal, underscoring the company’s aggressive growth strategy.
The expansion drive will primarily focus on Mundra in Gujarat, Dhamra in Odisha, and Vizhinjam in Kerala, with special emphasis on scaling the Vizhinjam transshipment hub, which has already crossed the one million TEU mark within nine months of its launch.
APSEZ aims to handle one billion ton of cargo annually by 2030, with 850 million mt expected from Indian ports and 140-150 million mt from overseas assets. For FY26, the company has earmarked Rs 6,500-7,000 crore for ports, Rs 2,300 crore for logistics, Rs 1,500 crore for renewables, and Rs 700-800 crore for marine services.
The additional capital expenditure will be directed towards expanding berths and terminals at Mundra and Dhamra, alongside scaling up Vizhinjam’s capacity. At the close of FY25, APSEZ’s installed capacity stood at 633 million mt across 15 Indian ports and terminals, handling 450 million mt of cargo, accounting for a 27 per cent national share.
