Adani Ports to invest Rs 75,000 crore to double cargo handling capacity by 2030

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), India’s largest private port operator led by Gautam Adani, has announced an ambitious investment plan worth Rs 75,000 crore over the next four years, ending FY29. The investment aims to expand capacity, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen the company’s logistics and technology infrastructure across India and overseas.

According to the company, the Rs 75,000 crore capital expenditure plan will focus on organic growth, excluding acquisitions. Around Rs 45,000–50,000 crore will be allocated to developing and expanding domestic ports, Rs 15,000–20,000 crore will go towards the logistics segment, while Rs 5,000 crore will be invested in technology upgrades and decarbonisation initiatives.

Currently, APSEZ operates 15 ports across India, holding a market share of nearly 27.8%, along with four international terminals. With this expansion, the company targets handling one billion tonnes of cargo annually by 2030, nearly doubling its current capacity of 500 million tonnes in FY25. The growth trajectory represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 15 percent.

The company also aims to expand its marine fleet to 150 vessels and operate 300 rakes, 20 multimodal logistics parks, 20 million sq. ft. of warehousing space, and 5,000 trucks across India. These developments will significantly improve the company’s integrated logistics capabilities and reduce turnaround times, aligning with India’s growing trade and export potential.

With a strong focus on sustainable growth, Adani Ports has also pledged to reduce its carbon footprint through cleaner energy adoption and advanced digitalisation. The company expects its revenue to grow at an annual rate of 20 percent, reaching approximately Rs 65,500 crore by FY29.

APSEZ’s expansion plan reflects the Adani Group’s broader vision to build world-class infrastructure and logistics ecosystems that support India’s ambition to become a global manufacturing and export hub. By enhancing connectivity and efficiency, the company is poised to play a pivotal role in India’s maritime and logistics transformation in the coming decade.
