Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone reported operational performance for December 2024. The total cargo handled in December amounted to 38.4 MMT, marking an 8% year-on-year growth, largely driven by a 22% increase in container traffic and a 7% rise in liquids and gas volumes.
For the year-to-date period ending December 2024, APSEZ handled 332.4 MMT of total cargo, a 7% increase compared to the same period last year, the company said in a press release on the stock exchanges.
The growth was again led by containers, which saw a 19% rise, followed by a solid 8% increase in liquids and gas.
Additionally, the logistics rail volumes stood at 0.48 million TEUs, marking a 9% YoY increase. The GPWIS volumes reached 16.1 MMT, reflecting a 13% growth. This performance reflects APSEZ’s continued efforts to expand and strengthen its cargo handling capabilities.
