Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) has reported a solid operational performance for December 2025, driven primarily by strong growth in container cargo, while overall year-to-date volumes remained firmly on an upward trajectory.
December 2025 Cargo Performance
In December 2025, APSEZ handled 41.9 million metric tonnes (MMT) of total cargo, registering a 9% year-on-year (YoY) growth. The growth was largely supported by a sharp rise in container traffic, which emerged as the standout performer during the month.
Key Highlights for December 2025:
- Total cargo handled: 41.9 MMT (+9% YoY)
- Container volumes: +18% YoY, leading overall growth
- Logistics rail volume: 59,037 TEUs (largely stable YoY)
- GPWIS volume: 1.8 MMT (-7% YoY)
The strong container performance reflects healthy trade flows and improved operational efficiency across APSEZ’s port network, even as select bulk cargo segments saw marginal softness.
Year-to-Date Performance Shows Consistent Momentum
For the period April–December 2025, APSEZ’s performance remained robust. Year-to-date cargo handling reached 367.3 MMT, marking an 11% YoY increase, highlighting sustained demand across ports and logistics operations.
Year-to-Date Highlights (Up to December 2025):
- Total cargo handled: 367.3 MMT (+11% YoY)
- Logistics rail volume: 528,872 TEUs (+11% YoY)
While GPWIS volumes witnessed some pressure during December, the overall logistics rail business continued to deliver healthy growth on a cumulative basis.
Container Cargo Continues to Drive Growth
Containers remained the key growth engine for APSEZ in December, supported by:
- Rising export-import activity
- Increased transshipment volumes
- Improved connectivity between ports and inland logistics infrastructure
The double-digit growth in container traffic further strengthens APSEZ’s leadership position in India’s ports and logistics sector.
Outlook
With strong year-to-date growth and container volumes showing sustained momentum, APSEZ appears well-positioned to maintain its growth trajectory going into the final quarter of FY26. Continued focus on integrated logistics, rail connectivity, and port efficiency is expected to support stable performance despite short-term volatility in certain bulk cargo segments.
