Adani Ports recorded a total cargo volume of 109 MMT in the quarter ending June 30, 2024, a growth of 7.5 percent over the same period last year. This growth was mainly due to an 18 percent increase in container cargo and an 11 percent increase in liquid and gas cargo.

In the logistics segment, APSEZ saw a 19 percent increase in quarterly rail volumes, reaching 156,590 TEUs, and GPWIS volumes totaling 5.56 MMT, a 28 percent year-on-year increase.

APSEZ's market capitalization reached $37 billion

As per a report earlier this month, APSEZ's market capitalization reached around $37 billion. It also surpassed the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed ​​Railway Company. This landmark figure of rising cargo volume indicates an upward trend in the company's S&P BSE Sensex index.

APSEZ handled 27 percent of India's total cargo and 44 percent of container cargo in the year to March 31, 2024 (FY24). Adani Ports handled more than a quarter of all cargo volumes in India in FY2024.
