In an exchange filing, the Adani Group company said that the achievement marks a defining moment in its evolution and underscores the growing strength of India’s infrastructure-led transformation. “More than a scale milestone, it reflects the rise of a world-class logistics platform built on long-term conviction, operational discipline and national purpose,” it added.
“From a single port-led vision in 1998 to a network spanning 19 ports and terminals across India and beyond, APSEZ has grown into a critical enabler of India’s trade, industrial growth and global competitiveness,” Adani Ports further said.
The best of Adani Ports is ahead of us: Gautam Adani
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said ports are not mere gateways for trade, but also gateways to national confidence, competitiveness and destiny. “I am grateful to our customers, partners and every member of the APSEZ family whose dedication and belief have made this milestone possible. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Central and State Governments whose policy and commitment to infrastructure have helped create the foundation on which APSEZ has grown,” he said.
The industrialist added that Adani Ports’ milestone is a signal of its decades-long confidence in the India growth story. “Over the years, we have built not just ports, but an unparalleled interconnected transport and logistics platform spanning ports, rail, roads, trucking, warehouses and cargo gateways. APSEZ’s best is ahead of us. And the best of India is ahead of her,” he added.
Adani Ports took 16 years to hit its first 100 million tonnes, but the subsequent 100 million tonne milestones were achieved faster than the previous ones, the company said, adding that this reflects the increasing scale, efficiency, resilience and strategic depth of its platform.
“With this milestone, APSEZ remains firmly on course towards its next major ambition of handling 1 billion tonnes of cargo by 2030. As it enters this next phase, the company remains committed to building not only world-class infrastructure, but also a world-class institution defined by scale, service, operational excellence and national purpose,” the company added.
Adani Ports currently operates 15 ports across 11,000 km of the Indian coastline, along with four international ports on the strategic East–West global corridor. It covers 95% of India’s hinterland with nationwide connectivity, comprising 12 multimodal logistics parks, 132 trains, more than 20,000 trucks, 2.9 lakh square metres of warehousing space and 25 agri silos.
Adani Ports shares rose to Rs 1,380 apiece on Wednesday morning. The shares of the company have fallen more than 9% in one month amid the Iran-US conflict, and over 7% in 2026 so far.
