Adani Ports Plans Rs 30,000 Crore Expansion Across Key Hubs

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has announced that it will invest ₹30,000 crore in a time span of 2 years to develop its domestic businesses, particularly at the ports of Mundra (Gujarat), Dhamra (Odisha) and Vizhinjam (Kerala).

The anticipated capex is expected to be more than double that of the previously planned ₹11,000–12,000 crore investment for the current fiscal year.

The company has stated that its intent is to achieve a target of one billion tonnes of cargo per year by 2030, where it expects to handle 850 million metric tonnes (MMT) at its Indian ports and the rest at overseas assets.

At the conclusion of FY25, the company operated at an installed capacity of 633 MMT at its 15 Indian ports and rehandled a total of 450 MMT, possessing a 27% share of the national market.

From APSEZ presentation in September, it announced that it intends to allocate capex during FY26 toward: ports (₹6,500–7,000 crore); logistics (₹2,300 crore); renewables (₹1,500 crore); and marine services (₹700–800 crore). The additional ₹30,000 crore in capex will be directed toward expanding berth and terminal capacity at Mundra and Dhamra, and further strengthen Vizhinjam as an emerging fast-growing transshipment hub - it has already handled over one million TEUs in just 9 months of operations.

The expansion comes as every port under APSEZ undergoes a major capex cycle, underscoring its ambition to consolidate its leadership in India’s port sector while deepening its role in global trade.
