AHMEDABAD, AUG 6
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) on Tuesday announced a 6.54 per cent jump in quarterly consolidated net profit of Rs 3,310.60 crore for the three-month period that ended in June.
While Adani Ports saw expenses bloat in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 surge to Rs 5,731.88 crore from last year’s Rs 4,238.94 crore, total income under review soared by around 17 per cent to Rs 9,422.18 crore.
The port operator also told regulators that S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook of APSEZ to “Positive” from “Negative” and reaffirmed the ratings at “BBB-“.
“This quarter’s 21% revenue growth is anchored by extraordinary momentum in our Logistics and Marine businesses, which grew 2x and 2.9x respectively,” said Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director & CEO, APSEZ.
“These are no longer ancillary verticals – they are reshaping the contours of our future-ready ports ecosystem. With expanding Trucking and International Freight Network services and fast growing, diversified marine fleet in the MEASA region, we are deepening our integrated transport utility approach and extending our value chain from port gate to customer gate. Coupled with cargo growth and market share gains in the domestic ports business, and higher revenue and improving EBITDA in international ports, we remain firmly on track to meet our FY26 guidance,” added Gupta
Adani Ports announced that its first fully automated terminal in Colombo Port was operational. The Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT), it said back in April, would significantly enhance Colombo Port’s capacity and ease congestion, boosting overall efficiency.
In total, Adani Ports handled 121MMT cargo volume in Q1 FY26—up 11 per cent year-on-year. The company said that the volume was driven mainly by containers, up 19 per cent YoY.
The Vizhinjam port in Thiruvananthapuram, which completed its first year in the quarter, achieved 100 per cent utilisation in its ninth month of operation, APSEZ stated. Adani Ports also commenced the construction of Phase 2 at the port.
The firm, part of the Adani Group, is the largest port developer and operator in India. It has six ports and terminals on the west coast—Mundra, Tuna Tekra and Berth 13 in Kandla; Dahej and Hazira in Gujarat, Mormugao in Goa; and Dighi in Maharashtra.
On the south coast, it has five ports and terminals—Vizhinjam port in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala; Karaikal port in Puducherry; Kattupalli port and Ennore terminal in Chennai, Tamil Nadu; Krishnapatnam port in Andhra Pradesh. On the east coast, the four ports and terminals are Gangavaram Port in Andhra Pradesh, Gopalpur and Dhamra ports in Odisha, and Haldia in West Bengal.
